I would love to share an update about my painted backsplash… I have scrubbed it, cleaned it with kitchen cleaner and splattered sauce and oil on it- and it still looks as good as when I started! If you are living with tile that is not your favorite color or is covered in a design you don’t like… paint it! I was ecstatic to receive an e-mail from Lindsay, who writes the blog Living, Laughing & Loving. She had beige tile in her kitchen that she didn’t like from the beginning. She writes in her blog that while they were signing the papers with the realtor for the house, all she could look at was the beige backsplash! I am happy to announce that she has painted her tile white, and it looks amazing! Here is the before…

And here are the afters!

I love how this project looks nothing like paint- it truly looks like a newly tiled backsplash! To see how she completed this project and the materials she used, visit her post HERE. I’m so glad she went for it!
I was so happy to come across Lindsay’s blog. She has a beautiful home and the photos from her wedding are amazing! Here’s a little glimpse into what you’ll see over on her blog…
LOVE the backsplash painted. what an improvement with little or no cost.
Lindsay's the best.

Thanks for sharing Amber, you are too sweet! & again, thanks for the inspiration, I am absolutely loving the new white.
What an improvement! And so good to know that your painted tile is holding up well. This is such a great, low-cost way to update a kitchen.
awesome! have been thinking about doing this in our bathroom and this just might give me the courage to try it 🙂
I love this idea.
After the priming what texture
Paint was used? Semi-gloss?
I have an ugly yellow back splash with a black border that looks hideous .
Hi James. I do not recall which materials she used for her tile. But I also did this project and here is the link to my post:
