I think these are quite lovely.
We have a large window behind our galley kitchen, with no backsplash, but I'm trying to think of a place to put a few of these tiles as some point.......

I finished my lavatory back splash and I think it came out really nice. For straight cuts along the tile seams, a razor knife worked fine. For cuts where I had to go through individual tiles, and to make the cutouts for the electrical and water heater switch outlets, I ended up using a saber saw with a metal cutting blade. I stuck down some blue painters tape on the tiles surface before cutting so as not to mar it. Worked perfectly!

backsplash tile
CA Streamer, Nice look ... it really makes the area behind your sink look much better. All the tile jobs posted here look so much better than the original area surfaces did. I can only find a hard tile with stainless top caps that require grout at my local Lowes stores in the Quad Cities so will have to go back and see what others here found for manufacturers info. I was able to find thin self adhesive tiles by Aspect that are larger tiles that come in long and short grained brushed stainless. The tiles are 3" x 6" and one box covers 1 square foot. I suppose this will work for a larger area but I like the smaller tile look better. Ed

Tiles
Thanks Steve, I was just looking at your previous link and I will have to check into these more now that I see what they are like. Again, Thanks. Ed

Hi, all of these metal jobs look great. In my bathroom I made and installed 5" X 7" photos that were taken on trips with our trailer.

Janel, your kitchen backsplash inspires me to go on and do my kitchen with the same tiles I used in the bath area. CAStreamer, your install looks great! You got them all lined up so well. I found that kinda hard given that what looked like straight lines in the trailer weren't actually.

Robert, your backsplash is so unique! Did you cover the pictures with something to make it water resistant?

Hi, Ntex; After I printed my pictures and let them cure a while, I sprayed several coats of automotive clear coat on them. I used wall paper border past to install them. A few loose corners were treated to some white glue. I also took some scraps and run water on them to see what it would do. The water just ran off. I removed the original border trim/paper and it's glue was very difficult to remove.

i found the curves kinda tricky, but I love the result. the only problem is the three tiles that I would like to change will drive me crazy till I can peel them off.
I thought about doing the picture idea, it looks fabulous, but I don't feel that this is my forever-stream and would hate to have someone else not appreciating them. that's why I am hesitant to put my wbcci numbers on. I also am thinking of repainting the entire thing if my dream stream does not find me soon.
great job everyone!
