Designing a room in advance is NOT my forte. I would be a terrible interior designer! So blindly having to make BIG design decisions about my 'future kitchen' last year... when our kitchen was only but a hole in the ground ...was anxiety inducing TO SAY THE LEAST. So when the flooring and cabinets started going in, and the kitchen started to feel like it was coming together, I think a lot ... [ Read More ]

New Tile Backsplash in the kitchen!
When we shared the final reveal of our kitchen, there was one thing about it that I wasn’t 100% happy with. If you’re thinking it was the fact that I painted my cabinets chartreuse, you’d be wrong. It was the backsplash. Installing a backsplash wasn't a priority, and I grew to regret that decision. You might remember that I have a thing for painting backsplashes to LOOK like tile, and this ...

How to Stencil your Backsplash
Well it’s been a week, and I STILL LOVE my chartreuse kitchen cabinets! It was fun to watch the wide array of comments flow in. I think it’s fair to say... you either loved it or ya hated it. And that’s ok! A lot of my design choices are off the wall... it’s just my style. And you still read my blog, sooooo... I love to mix different design genre’s to create my own personal style. If having ... [ Read More ]
Operation Laundry Room {The Backsplash}
As promised, we’re back with the tile installation in the ‘Luxury Laundry Suite’. I call it that because it’s so obnoxiously awesome. So awesome in fact… Nick and I pulled some chairs in and drank our coffee in there this morning. That’s actually a lie. But we seriously considered it. ({click here for a recap of this whole room transformation}} As you know, we have strong opinions ... [ Read More ]

If you follow on Instagram, you know that we did a painted subway tile backsplash recently, and we made this one to look like SLATE!

Mason Jar Mosaic Backsplash (for UNDER $40!!)
So hey! Let’s talk about how to INSTALL this Mason Jar Mosaic backsplash that just went up in our upstairs bath! If you missed Part 1, we discussed how to tint clear glass Mason jars (or any clear jars you have lying around), as well as breaking and sorting your ‘Tesserae’! Now lets get down and dirty (LITERALLY) with some tile adhesive compound and goopy grout! Grouting a backsplash is a messy ... [ Read More ]
Mason Jar Mosaic Backsplash – PART 1 {Tinting & Breaking Jars}
I started with a slew of clear mason jars (most of which I picked up at garage sales here and there)! I wasn’t sure exactly how many I would need for this project, so I threw in some spaghetti jars I had in the recycling bin. For this particular project, it doesn’t matter. They will just be a bunch of broken pieces! You’ll want to order some of this stuff. It’s called Vitrea 160 I only ... [ Read More ]
How to paint a backsplash!
I'm going to teach you how to PAINT your backsplash to look like actual tile! There are SO many possibilities... with pattern, color combination, etc. This is a great option of you're not ready to commit to the permanency of tile (or the cost, or messy installation). I decided to paint over our backsplash (that I painted the very first week we lived in this house). This is what it looked ... [ Read More ]
Brenda’s Backsplash
I usually try to keep our backsplash updates over on our S/E Backsplash Website, but this most recent one we painted was a little different... and we think deserves a shout-out! Brenda's getting her house all gussied up to put it on the market, and naturally she brought us in to do our thing in her kitchen! We were a little nervous about painting over a darker 'grout' line: Brenda wanted long ... [ Read More ]

Our backsplash painting has become inexplicably successful, and we have requests from all over the country from people begging us to take a trip to their respective city to revive their drab kitchen situations.
