You Likie ???

It is not always easy to come up with something new and creative for places that you would normally use tile.
Well, I saw this and thought...hmmmmmm.
I like it.
You can use any water based paint color. 
You can mix the paint with water if you want to have a color stain. 
Or paint it on straight away , brush  on the color and let it dry for days. 
Then seal it with marine varnish.
It will stand up to water.
Boats and Sailboats use it, so it is tried and true.
I think this is really nice idea. I would do it in my own home.
There is texture, color, and durability coupled with 
being inexpensive and a 'DIY' project!!!
How great is that?

Do you like this idea?
.

The Back Splash:


Planking from Home Depot that looks like bead-board,  
stained with Minwax's "green tea," a water-based wood stain, and sealed it with 
two coats of high-gloss marine varnish.

For the paint recipe, go here. And to see this clever studio in nyc.

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
