We’re THRILLED with the after! 🙂
A few of you most likely do not forget that we’ve been engaged on the kitchen since final yr at the moment. We’ve slowly been chipping away at our to-do record for the kitchen. It was so thrilling to choose up our provides at The Home Depot like Behr® Marquee™ paint line, ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape and a Wooster® Pro paint brush and roller.
Here’s a “earlier than” though it’s considerably after as a result of we eliminated a bunch of wallpaper and we remodeled the kitchen cupboard doorways final yr. The present backsplash has simply been a bit drab and-with it being painted paneling-a bit more difficult. We aren’t able to decide to tile as a result of we aren’t 100% certain what we wish to do long run with this area.
So a painted fake tile was the right choice for us.
Listed here are the provides we used…
- Behr® Marquee™ Iron Gate #MQ2-60 {Flat} – Gray
- Behr® Marquee™ Cameo White #MQ3-32 {Satin} – White
- Wooster® Professional Woven Cage Body Curler
- Wooster® Professional Excessive Density Woven Cage Body Curler (2-Pack)
- Wooster® Professional 1.5” Nylon/Polyester Skinny Angle Sash Brush
- ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape Delicate Surfaces with Superior Edge-Lock™ Paint Line Protector 2080EL
We wished to create a gray herringbone diagonal tile look with white grout strains, so after portray all the again splash in Iron Gate gray and permitting it to dry for not less than 24 hours I started taping off all the vertical strains.
I needed to measure, divide into equal vertical rectangles, tape, and paint the vertical grout strains. This took a while! It’s not arduous in any respect. Simply time consuming to make it possible for every little thing is right earlier than portray.
The setup is DEFINITELY probably the most time consuming a part of this undertaking, however be affected person as a result of the ultimate result’s price it!
Ensure that the perimeters of the tape are securely pressed down after which use a dry brush {dip within the paint after which brush off extra} to seal within the ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape earlier than portray a second coat of the white on. Take away the painters tape fastidiously whereas the paint remains to be moist.
After Myra and I made a decision on the angle and peak of our tiles and width of our grout strains, I then calmly marked the place every diagonal tile line would intersect the vertical strains, taped, and painted my diagonal strains. Once more, endurance is the important thing right here!
Keep in mind to press the tape edges down securely and do the dry brush approach to assist maintain the paint from seeping by way of the tape. Crisp strains are the purpose! 🙂
I pulled the tape shortly after portray the diagonal strains and bam! You get nervous as you pull this tape off. A dreaded sense of finality kinda kicks in. Ha! Belief your affected person preparation and setup!
Critically. That could be a backsplash enchancment!! I knew I used to be heading in the right direction when a relative lately came to visit and, whereas wanting on the completed product, stated “That appears actually good! What’s that?” pondering it was some sort of precise tile! Sure!
Listed here are just a few extra “after” photographs in your viewing pleasure…

This area has been so elevated with the geometric backsplash. It’s a lot extra fascinating and dynamic than earlier than.
