I would have left the copper tiles unpainted for as long as they didn't discolor and simply have gotten one of those spray painting kits from the store where you can make your counters look like granite. They have different colors and a white-ish one would have made the copper a stunning color pop.Cjennmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788338234505896297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-52001224770246168822016-05-06T19:00:49.629-04:002016-05-06T19:00:49.629-04:00Laura, I'm pretty sure she said the 'coppe...Laura, I'm pretty sure she said the 'copper' tiles are plastic...PVC, and as such, would never develop a patina.<br /><br />Too Many Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843409317677421331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-73984901649330981022016-04-01T23:37:04.353-04:002016-04-01T23:37:04.353-04:00Love what you have done with the kitchen!

I thought they would be hideous, but after seeing a few of them, I like the look. Just wondered what your diy thoughts might be. We weren't going to pour them, just cover over old ones. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834511568082198587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-75939670410297255662016-02-01T20:02:06.640-05:002016-02-01T20:02:06.640-05:00I loved your copper backsplash!

You might have painted it a silver tone, like brushed nickel to lighten it up as an alternative to the white, but the white does seem to "go" better than the dark.Big Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085591845049453359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-161128593295879372015-10-31T17:37:18.632-04:002015-10-31T17:37:18.632-04:00Your kitchen is wonderful!

They appear to be a softer color than the white and maybe it will "flow" better? So what have you done with the old back plates?!! I'm sure you'll come up with something! hahaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279651310581406569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-9779239434149317832015-07-20T20:15:27.989-04:002015-07-20T20:15:27.989-04:00I like them both actually!

But because copper gets such a beautiful blue/green patina, I think I would've tried to achieve that as well and then paint over if I didn't like it, then.

Paint is the worst for me. I think I LOVE a color, but once it's up on the wall-no way! Which is why I've painted our kitchen three times-and why I doubt the makeover will ever be complete!! LOL! -Anyway-I LOVE your newly painted back splash!It gives your kitchen that cottage-farmhouse look I absolutely ADORE! I also love the ceiling-and cute vignette above the cabinets! As for the knobs on your cabinets, I've looked at the photo's ten times-and STILL can't figure out what you did-but they look great!
