tin tiled back splash

When building our house I didn’t install a back splash in the kitchen. In part because I didn’t know what I wanted to do, and in part because I just wanted to be finished! After seeing a tin tile ceiling in a restaurant, I started doing some research on using them for a back splash. I found what I wanted and ordered the metal tiles. Last weekend we installed the 2’x2′ tiles. Paul did all the measuring and cuts as I am geometrically challenged. I glued them up and put them into place. Yesterday I painted the metal the same color as the walls, but used an oil-based semi-gloss paint to keep them from rusting and make them easy to clean. I’m pretty pleased with end result!
