    A word of advice, heating the tiles totally helps. With a blow dryer or iron, low setting and of course a heavy piece of fabric over the tile.

    Here is a tip to get a better edge. Do the front edge first! Use a piece of plywood or other flat surface to butt the front edge pieces up against the plywood so the top so the front edges are exactly flush with the top surface. THEN place the top tiles on, so the top tile will just cover over the edge of the front tiles.

    Suggestion: Start at the sink area putting a full tile directly next to the sink on the right and left sides. This allows for a full section of tile at each side of the sink that are highly used areas. This only leaves a small section at the front and back. The smaller sections then are near each end towards the wall or appliances.

  • @ChiChiKeiannaJ

    Omg STUNNING? I think I am going to try it, my children are still young and wild, so using tile would be a better option until we are ready to redo our kitchen fully. Seven years is a reasonable amount of time to save for my dream kitchen. Thanks for sharing. 👍

  • @CatFromFL
    @CatFromFL 6 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    An inexpensive sheet of sheet metal or aluminum would enhance the dishwasher more than the tile. Or you could spray paint the metal white or black. The tiles look great on the counters but the dishwasher, not so much. Stunning result, especially at this price point.

    I have an idea. So if you have a rounded edge, you can still use the tiles. Just install same way. But instead of going down the edge you get the trim wood strips. Even the decorative scrolled wooded ones and paint or stain to match. They have flat strips and rounded ones by the corner round in home depot n lowes.

    Also, you could put white caulk down the line on the very edge where the side and top meet. Run it over the edge don't worry about the extra that will smear onto the vinyl sticker. Then grab a paper towel and wipe over it all without putting pressure on the gap/line directly. Wipe off any excess on the vinyl and let the caulk dry. Small amount of water on the paper towel makes getting the caulking off places you don't want it easier too. You could do clear, personally I think white would look good. It will help keep any food debris/ bacteria / mold from getting trapped in that thin line. Putting a line of clear caulk around the very edge against the wall helps keep anything water ect from getting trapped and causing damage over time. Learned about all the nooks and crannies water ect can damage a home over time the hard ( and costly ) way, yikes! Great vid and color choices!

    Aliiyle advice to you others who have this project in mind.
    I have done few like that already ...
    Floor professionals use weighted rubber roller to secure tiles , edges and joints.
    You can use pastry roller pressing it down firmly.
    Another thing..Doing steps cover I have learned that edges need extra glue and SANDING DOWN because they are sharp like raisor.
    This would apply to your edging .
    Personally I would just paint with melamine to match the tiles.

      I came on to say the same...use a blowdryer set on high or an iron to warm the old tiles for easier removal.
      Not to find fault, but I would have butted the whole tiles against the edge of the sink (on the right hand side) so that the pieced ones would be off to the side, by the wall, where they'd be less noticeable.

      I think you would just have to be more careful about using cutting boards for placing food.

    I am sorry if you answered this, but could you do this over an existing laminate countertop? Maybe by sanding first? I LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL GROW! Ive been sharing your videos with my mom and we are still reeling over the basement bedroom makeover. You are amazing!

      No problem :) We did put them over our existing counters and we just cleaned them real well at first. They are very good at staying put once you put them down. Good luck! So glad you are finding some inspiration and thank you so much for your support! :)

      I bought a cleaner that stripped the wax off to make the tile adhere better. Got it at Lowe's or Home Depot. It wasn't expensive.

    I see your brick wall painted in the beginning of ur video in the background, do you have a video on how you did painted the brick white & grayish Sweetie??
    Ive been trying to find me a tutorial on painting brick wall but I’ve got real brick though in my kitchen is all white and I hate it lol
    Plus we’re redoing the kitchen floor and replacing w/ new cabinets right now, so I came on here to look to how to update your kitchen countertops though!
    I’m just scared of it bubbling up?
    DO U RECOMMEND THE LAMINATED MARBLE?
    OR PAINTING IT AND PUTTING UR OWN SWIRLS IN IT TO MAKE IT LOOK MARBLE?? (It’s called something I pretty sure? Lol I just got a brain fart so I can’t think of it?
    BUT ID APPRECIATE IT, IF U WILL ANSWER MY 2 QUESTIONS, THANK YOU SO MUCH
    MUCH 💕 LOVE
