Painted Subway Tile Backsplash

Andrea
by Andrea
This turned out wonderful, we were very pleased with the results. Fairly easy to do, but it is time consuming with all the taping and painting each tile; 18+ hours. We did this for under $30!
measuring and taping off the "grout"; paint each "tile" whatever color you would like. We did a pattern.

    Hi Sue. Yes, it has held up very nicely. It has been over a year and it still looks as good as it did the day we did it. I check 1-2 times a week to see if there are spots and wipe them off with a hot soapy dish rag.
