Project:
Tile on Gally Stove Backsplash
(click
on any of the small pictures for a large one!)
Why
|
Just because. And because that stainless steel sheeting is hideously ugly, especially when it gets all bent up as mine was. |
Where
| Did this while already in the yard having the windows replaced. |
The Job
|
I started with some thin backing board cut to fit the size of the stainless steel openings - two sides and a back. I then attached some thin strips as "framing" around the edge.
It helped to stain and varnish the frame trim before doing the tile. I put blue tape over it while doing the tile work. To make it a little more interesting, I found one of those online-picture-coffee-mug sites on the internet that also did 4" x 4" tiles!. I sent them four digital (.jpg) pictures of all 3 of our previous boats (and the original picture of the former Sarah Ann). For $6.00 each (including the tiles!), I got a really neat addition to the boat. |
Results
|
Very easy job, and a much nicer look than bent-up stainless steel sheeting. |
