I am looking for something simple, I matched my paint (just a slightly off white) to the tile i want to use, and i just want a little color scattered in the tile. They have the little medallion colors that you can buy but i just am not sure thats the way i want to go.
I have looked on line at like decals you can put on tile, something kitcheny, the also have full portriats you can buy and on your back splash but they are very pricey. I am also just not sure how the decals would hold up to cleaning, weather they would scratch off or pucker up after getting them wet over time. Though i have thought of spraying a laucgher (sp) on them to seal it.
I am in no hurry, it's painted right now in a flat paint where as the rest is semi gloss, had to use flat so the mortar stuff would stick better but it's not that notciable. I will know it when i find what i am looking for.
Have had some sales people tell us we would have to put up new backer board in order for the wall to handel the weight of the tiles, and mortar stuff that holds the tiles in place.
Let me know what you find out about that, it's not a very big area i am doing, why can't anything just be simple.
