KLarkin Interiors

Yes!!! We painted the backsplash!! After cleaning and sanding, we filled all the holes in the travertine tile with spackle. Then applied Kilz Clear primer. The clear primer allowed us to prime the tile but retain the existing color of the tile to enhance the final finish we were looking for. We applied a subtle mottled decorative finish to the existing backsplash tiles over our clear primer. We choose SW Kilim Beige for our glaze color which looks fantastic with the Dreamy Marfil Quartz countertops. This technique requires the paint to be thinned so it is slightly translucent allowing some of the color variation of existing tile to show through giving mottled effect. Last we top coated the tile with several coats of General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in a satin sheen. Wow! This was such a beautiful transformation for this kitchen!✨💖 #kilzclearprimer #paintedtile #sherwin-williamsduration #Generalfinisheshighproformancetopcoat #kitchenrefresh #kitcheninspo #paintedbacksplashtile #decorativefinishes #timelesskitchen #classickitchen
