Yes, yes I did.
I took the plunge.
And painted my boring beige kitchen back splash high gloss white.
OMG ... This was WAY OVER DUE!!!
I have never loved our stone back splash and have been dying to install white subway tile on the diagonal. I called our handy man who "put me on the list". I love this handy man. He is clean, his prices are good ... but he has gotten so busy lately that getting him when you want him is a huge challenge. Every single thing I have asked him to do lately I have given up and figured out how to do myself, one way or another.
I took my inspiration from House of Pemberley ... who did the exact same thing in her kitchen.
And I took Kimber's advice to the letter. Purchased the paint she told me to get, didn't prep the tile which she said was a waste of time and didn't even prime the tile.
I did remove the switch plates and cover the granite with kitchen trash bags taped down with Frog tape. Super classy ... I know. But it worked like a charm!
The after effect is amazing. Like I can't believe the difference in the room. The back splash no longer makes me want to gag.
The room stinks to high heaven ... ok maybe the whole house. And I may still be loopy from the fumes ... but dear heaven ... its fabulous!
And the best part, it cost me $30, an hour or so of my time ... and I don't have to wait for the handy man!
Win, win, win for moi!
