And what was the result of the countertop staining? See below!
There were also week of debating with myself about backsplashes. They really make or break a room!
I ended up choosing a plain white ceramic glossy brick from Floor and Decor, and adding a stripe made from a pale slate mosaic they carry. Since the mosaic is 12 x 12, I get about 6 feet of strip our of each $7 sheet.
If you are new to tiling, mosaics with small pieces are GREAT to start with, there is very little cutting needed and the slight variations hid mistakes easily.
When finished this will have a white grout to keep it simple and hide any small mistakes :)
This project is currently delayed to to work, and due to having to change out all the outlets with extender boxes so the plates sit on top of the tile, which has to be done with the power off, and it is too damn hot to work without AC right now. Plus I am getting some electrical upgrades next month and the power will be off for many many hours for that, so I will just do it then.
