An Easy Fix

When we changed the tile backsplash in the kitchen there was an issue that needed to be corrected. We tiled over the old tile and we didn't won't to remove the border tile, but it was the wrong color with the new tile. I thought for a minute and came up with an easy fix.

The arrow marks the problem.

Here's a closer blurry look. As you can see it is a brown color.

See it now? It blends nicely with the new tile. So how did I do that? In less than a couple of minutes I brushed a couple of colors of paint over it and voila!

These border pieces are in three places on this side. You can see the one by the arched opening in front of the sink here.

The other piece is behind the pitcher of flowers. I seemed to always have it blocked with something in my photos.

So if you have something that needs an easy fix....try paint.

I used watered down chalk paint in two colors so the color would dry quickly and with no sheen.
