Hello friends!
We are just about finished with the cupboards....waiting on a few doors.
We hummed and hawed over the tile....do we pull it up and replace it or........
why not just paint the ugly 5 tiles......
You see they are white...and white is good right....sooooooo.....
I did some investigating and found that I needed a oil base paint to paint ceramic...
Well try to find that here in Canada...They have banned all oil based paints.....
Only painters can obtain oil base and I wasn't about to hire a painter for 5 tiles....
Look what I found at Home Depot......
It says it's for appliances but I used it on the 5 tiles........
Perfect!!!!
I washed the tiles clean and then dried them. Made sure I taped all around the tile that needed
to be painted and then some.
Just a precaution....You get overspray when you use spray paint...I found out the hard way...But then I keep a supply of Mr.Clean sponges on hand.
Look at the tiles I painted.........
FANTASTIC don't you think......
So no messy job of pulling tiles and replacing drywall or $$$ spent on new white tile......
This project cost $7.99. Not bad eh!! Could have been at least $100.00 by the time you bought
the tiles and the drywall and the grout and the mud for the drywall... and the tile glue........
So the moral of the story is do some research first.........
Thanks for stopping by!!
Leave a comment, I love hearing from you....
