First
let me apologize for not being in frame for the first part of the
video. I had put the camera in a slightly different place than normal
and I didn't realize that I wasn't in frame.
This
week I was hoping to get a lot further but the weather has been cold
and really wet to the point that it affected my drying times.
So
the first thing we did was to add the trim to the area of the
cabinets at the bottom. Really simple just a ¼” wide strip of our
faux wood-grain. I like to glue on, let dry, then cut to the exact
size. So much easier than cutting to exact size and trying to get it
place correctly.
The
bulk of this week's progress was the tile back-splash. I used the
faux tile made on the score board with photo paper. I love this
technique so much. It is easy and looks so much like real tile when
you get done. The colors of Distress Ink that I used were: Vintage
Photo, Wild Honey, and Scattered Straw. (just a hint, we are using
the same inks along with some other things when we make the
counter-top)
You
can use whatever colors you want to make your tile, I was going for a
warm look to mine and based the color choices on some tile I saw in a
photo of a kitchen. You could also just put up a wallpaper of some
type, either one that looks like wallpaper or one that looks like a
painted wall. Again it all depends on the style/look you are going
for.
I
did use a spray Acrylic Sealer on my tile because I knew I was going
to be gluing it and handling it a bit. This will help those water
based inks to not run later on.
