Steal away! I would love to see your back splash when you are finished! I have been thinking about adding some sort of protective sealer since I finished this, but I haven't done it yet. So far I've been able to wipe it down with no issues, but I'm sure a sealer would help. Let me know if you find a good product.*colette*https://www.blogger.com/profile/00659371563003198041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256584705522516859.post-86221180939438923642014-04-07T22:33:03.878-04:002014-04-07T22:33:03.878-04:00Stealing this design, but adding browns and beige ...Stealing this design, but adding browns and beige with pops of red.

I was actually going to spend the money on the tiles to get a design similar to this, but after some quick math, I realized i would be $600 "poorer." I hope you don't mind that I am stealing your design, but I am doing pops of red with browns and beige. Your blog is awesome.

I just don't have the patience; however, I want to learn some basic things. In the meantime, I just love love putting the entire room together and creating the perfect space. I am renovating our basement to include a laundry room and media room and sauna. Can't wait. We start on January 6 with the contractor. YAY! YOU ARE JUST AMAZING AND LOVE YOUR ENGINERING TALENTS.
