Backsplashes

We had two quick tile jobs to knock out– ADU Kitchenette and the main kitchen.

I was ready with a bunch more cheap white Home Depot subway tile… but hubs said we needed to mix it up a little. It’s much harder to pick tile when you don’t just go with cheap white subway tile! I finally decided one some gray ceramic tiles. The ADU kitchenette tile was from Floor and Decor. Pretty cheap, easy to install, no special edging needed.

The main kitchen tile was from Wayfair, but they also sell at Home Depot. It was a mix of these decorative white flower print tiles and a medley of grays.

I purchased from Wayfair because it was much cheaper, but I had some much left over, I probably would have been better just ordering from Home Depot so I could easily return the remaining tile. I was nervous because this was special ordered and took a few weeks to arrive. I needed to have more than enough on site because it would take a long time to get more. The gray tiles have a crack glaze. It adds a cool vintage feel, but does require a tile sealant prior to grouting. (We did a quick sealant spray the night after install, but I’m actually not sure it would have mattered that much. We only let it dry about 12-18 hours before he started grouting and I haven’t noticed any issues with the crackle glaze. )
