My Backsplash

11 years ago

I started my backsplash today. No grout yet, and it doesn't come anywhere near close to any of the beautiful backsplashes I see here, but I decided to not spend a lot of money and I am not very creative. I tried to cut the tiles at a diagonal, but I gave up on that.

4 x 4 American Olean White

Accent tile is Merola Tile Crackle Square Azure Mix

I have never tiled before and decided it is not something I am very good at LOL But I tried, and I sort of like it and can live with it. :)

I am going to use grey grout.
