DIY: A backsplash in a flash!


Want a kitchen update the adds value but doesn't break the bank? Barbara Ballinger of The Chicago Tribune has a project any homeowner can do on their own: a tile backsplash.

Here are some of her tips to get you started.
  • When deciding on the colors for your backsplash, remember white is always a classic. Or if you're going for a fresh, modern feel, consider pale green glass.
  • If you're not sure how to begin, Lowe's has a video that breaks down the project step-by-step.
  • Buy more tile than you think you'll need, as some may get dropped or broken!
  • Porcelain tile is easier to work with for beginners.
  • Don't forget to buy plastic spacers and grout.
  • Tiles mounted on mesh provide an easy and quick to start to the project

Happy tiling!
