What You Do When You HATE Your Kitchen Tile Backsplash? You Paint It Of Coarse..Check It Out

So, this morning....I get up, look outside and see snow, ice, and more snow. Then I see my ugly backsplash.

Now, I gotta say, its much better than it was when I moved it. It was like Mexican Hacenda meets Italy. How does that work? It doesnt. So I painted over it.

Now Ive decided I dont like it. Here is what it looked like this morning before I painted it.


So, my kitchen is done is roosters if you haven't guessed. I have them, I like them..so, there ya go.

I had left over wall paint, so I started there.


Then, as you can see, I just painted over it to get a base coat color.

Then I took my cheap, 50 cents a bottle Apple Barrel paint. I used two shades of brown. They were Territorial Beige and Melted Chocolate. Then I threw in black for dimension. 

I just used my stencil brush and then a regular angled paint brush. A tiny one. 


Here we go.............


Paper plates are awesome you know.



So if you take your stencil brush and tap it into a single color, then tap it onto the tile in random patterns. Then do the same thing with the other colors. Careful on the black though.

The more random you do it, the better it looks.


I like it. Whatcha think?

Questions? Ask away.
