faux tin

Back in February I showed you our kitchen and the changes we've made since we've lived in this house. Today I want to show you how we disguised the dated backsplash. Here's what we had when we moved in: White squares with a red and green stripe. Perfect in the mid-90's when the house was built. Today, not so much. After moving in we did an initial kitchen redo, mainly cosmetic-stripped wallpaper, textured, painted, switched out the faucet and kitchen cabinet hardware. We knew we wanted to do…

No how YOU doin’?? ;) I’ve been planning this post forever, because there’s lots of projects that I do up in here that I’ve been meaning to update you on. When I see projects out in blogland, I love hearing how they work in real life and how they hold up. It’s like those extreme makeover shows when they show the person a year later and you’re all like, ohhh, they look GREAT. Or ohhh, that’s just too bad… This is the house version. And so here. we. go. First up – the beadboard backsplash in…

I've been wanting to give my kitchen a "new look" for quite some time now. When we bought our Colonial-style home over 24 years ago, I had big plans to "update" the kitchen almost immediately. But, being newly-weds, we had little money to invest and so our kitchen didn't see any changes for MANY years. Except for removing the linoleum to find hard wood underneath, adding a new sink area and 1 set of cabinets (the original kitchen had NO cabinets), it has looked pretty much the same as it did…

I have always loved tin tiles. They are so interesting and add such beauty to a piece or a room. I needed (actually wanted) to get some for a piece I am working on. The problem problems are finding the size I need, the amount I need and the price point. That was a biggie, price. Have you priced tin tiles lately? Wow! Anyways, I really wanted to have some and couldn't get some, so what's a girl to do? DIY them of course! I had some scrap 1/4 plywood. I traced the shapes I needed onto the…

Handcrafted. Splendidly.

While growing up, we frequently visited our family in New England. One of my favorite memories is visiting my great-grandmother's old farmhouse. She had a large kitchen with a huge wood slab table, big enough to fit everyone for hours of laughter, card games, dice, and wonderful meals. Also, the mudroom, large pantry under the stairs, parlor room, and loft-type room upstairs with mini-windows where my sister and I would yell to people outside and then hide, made her house so charming! I have…

About $50, we took faux tin kitchen backsplash and trim and covered the front of this vintage dresser. Using a hammered black and matching copper paint to finish it off!

El primer sitio donde las ví, fue en la emblemática tienda Merci de París. El mostrador está revestido con unas placas de lata, cada una de un color y de diseños diferentes, me pareció fántastica la idea. Me apasiona ver como la gente le da una utilidad diferente a un objeto en desuso, como le condece una '2on Life'. Abro este nuevo apartado con las placas de techo. Cabezales,jardineras, revestimientos o simplemente como arte para las paredes. Que os parecen? Mostrador hecho con placas de…
