Hopefully will we be hanging the drywall in the kitchen this weekend so the cabinet/countertops are not that far off :)

I am going to use some porcelain tiles for the counter and a coordinating mosaic for the backsplash. Since I bought these at a liquidation auction, I don't have any for the edge.

Was thinking about doing a wood edge but had an idea.

I adhered a tile to a leftover piece for 1" foam insulation to simulate the plywood etc. Then adhered a piece of mullion trim to the side. I then mixed some thinset with paint and covered the wood. I played with some stain I had trying to darken/texture it. I know the color isn't right - It's just what I had around the house. I plan on sealing this with polyurenthane so it will be easier to keep clean.

Would love to hear your comments.

I am nuts?

Would this work?

Should I use a darker color and try to match the tile?

I originally wasn't going to use molding but I tried to "sculpt" the edge and it didn't turn out well. The molding helps guide me.

Don't worry about the color of the cabinet. That one is in my home kitchen.
