How to tile a wall (the easy way)

If you've thought about adding a focal point to a room but weren't sure where to start, check out how easy it is to do a tile accent wall.

With so many fantastic options out there for materials, the sky is the limit. I suggest using mesh backed decorative tiles and Simple Mat's adhesive mats. These are basically mastic dots on a contact sheet. No more messy mastic or cement and no slipping down the wall. You just adhere the mats to the wall, add your tile, cutting as you go and then grout. Done!

Check out my tutorial:

I used the Simple Mat's adhesive mats to do my backsplash last year and it was so easy!

I have been putting off my Betty Boop back splash, think this was the motivation I needed to start this project. Thanks for sharing
