Next month we will have been in our house 12 years so the newness has definitely worn off. Things are nicked and faded and have a layer of child-related grime so thick that I cannot get it off no matter how hard I scrub.
The paint behind our kitchen sink had a tendency to fade and peel due to the drops of water from the faucet. I am the official "paint toucher-upper" in the house and, really, I don't need any more work added to my endless list of things that need to be done.
So I decided to try my hand at tiling the lazy person's way.
I bought Tile Setting Mat.....
some lightweight tiles...
some pre-mixed and stained grout... (of which I did not take a photo)
And I got....... awesomeness for under $50.
With the leftover tile, mat and grout, I did this in the powder room, which is off from the kitchen and had one of those large, plain, stuck-forever-to-the-drywall mirrors that lacks interest and was starting to chip and look worn at the edges.

It looks great Carrie! I want you to come over and put up a backsplash all around my kitchen, ok? :)
