        My husband installed these “Smart Tiles” in the kitchen last weekend. We love them and everyone who sees them thinks they look great. Really easy and a great update to our kitchen. They can be ordered online from Home Depot.

        That turned out beautifully!

        If your hubby doesn’t hire out, is he available for consulting?

        Nice job!

        Love it, We have the same kitchen and would like to do the same thing or similar. Did you remove the microwave or just butt up to the bottom?
        also was it any problem having enough room to extend the outlets past the backsplash?

        Awesome job,
        Cary

        He just butted up under the microwave. Two of the outlet covers can’t be removed, but the wires are long enough to pull them out and cut around them. Both walls took a total of about 4 hours to do. Let me know if you have any other questions.

        Really beautiful!!! Can you tell us more about the “smart tiles”? I’m assuming you need to grout?? Hugs, Di

        No grout at all. These are peel and stick. Here is the description from the Home Depot website: “A revolutionary and unique in the world product that is as easy to install as peel and stick. The do it yourself peel and stick tile concept of smart tiles is made of an adhesive substrate topped with a clear gel component called Gel-0 (which gives it its 3-dimensional effect) that makes the product so easy to handle, cut and maintain you will wonder why this was not invented before. They are installed in minutes without any mess or specialized tools over any clean and sleek surface for you to enjoy right there and then. Especially designed for Kitchen and Bathroom environments (i.e.. backsplashes), they are resistant to the heat of stovetops and the humidity of bathrooms. They are removable by simply heating the surface with a hairdryer and peeling them off. Choose from our wide selection of Mosaics, solid colors and Motifs.”

        They come in many different patterns and colors. They aren’t cheap. They cost $10/sheet or $53 for six sheets and each sheet is approximately 10″ x 10″. Our kitchen cost about $230 including tax.

        Made the mistake of showing this to somebody, so it was off to Home Depot yesterday. It was an easy job after I made up my mine to do it. Very neat product!

        We used a similar product about a year ago. It really brightened up the area.

        Looks great!!! Dutch can tackle so many jobs in our “home” but I just can’t get him to try this on. Unfortunately, we have so many outlets, sockets, etc the he just doesn’t feel he can work around all of those little parts that would interfere with him trying to get it right.
        Maybe I can sweet talk someone into it at a future get together???????? Please—pretty please?? Hugs, Di

        If you’re asking about the photos I posted last February, the color is “Bellagio.” Since that first posting, my husband has also used the vinyl tile in the bathroom. It still looks as good as the day it was installed.

        Thanks so much for the info on the color, we absolutely love it and it looks so professional. Thinking that color would look good in our kitchen. we will be heading to Home Depot very soon.

        Some Home Depots have it in stock, but we had to order it on-line from them.
