Not back in the Studio yet, but I was working with a different kind of interlocking, overlapping, repeating pattern kind of pieces. The condo kitchen was up next for a cosmetic facelift.
Before - the light grey tiles, while structurally sound, had seen some better days.
The color was, um, hideous. It was too light, slightly bumpy in texture and boring!
During - I found a great facelift product: Tic Tac Tiles.
These install right on top of other existing surfaces, including ceramic tiles. Amazon had the best price (50 tiles for under $180) and I had them in two days. They are resistant to heat & moisture, are anti-bacterial, anti-mold and made from eco-friendly materials.
I started the first two tiles working from left to right - WRONG! They need to be installed right to left in order for the overlap to work.
After - the completed tiling project. I LOVE the way the tile colors work with the cabinets and countertop.
I replaced the old, carved, antique copper knobs with simple brushed nickel ones. And to finish off the project, I installed some narrow trim - much like binding on a quilt.
The condo is thisclose to being done and ready for market. Up next is replacing the kitchen floor and an update to the bathroom.
