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.
