When I saw those napkins, I thought how can I use them in our home? The kitchen backsplash needed an update, and I did not want to spend a lot of money so I thought.... well, we can try this and see what happens? It has been over a year since we completed this project, and our backsplash is still going strong. I still love it when I walk into the kitchen every morning! Thank you for your comment!

I was told to cover that with joint compound; that was great, but it eventually cracked. 🫣Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864815100277410793.post-41355345780459801332022-04-15T15:02:02.154-04:002022-04-15T15:02:02.154-04:00I have some pretty granite tiles as my backsplash....I have some pretty granite tiles as my backsplash. Can I tint the modge podge and paint over the backsplash for a tinted look but still be able to see the pattern of the granite?

I am unsure about that. Our backsplash does not get direct contact with water, but I have wiped it down with a wet rag and cleaning solution and have had no issue. I changed my wording on this post since I had not considered a shower wall until you mentioned it. I also saw where someone suggested you needed to varnish over the decoupaged area if it were to be in constant contact with water. The shower does not get as hot as the dishwasher, so I would think that would be the best choice for a shower surround. I would not try a bathtub since it holds so much water. We have had the tub sprayed by a professional before and I know you can change the color of your tub that way. It is about $500, but when you consider the cost of a tearing out a tub and installing a new one, it is not such a bad price. We were really happy with the way it turned out on another home. <br />Vintage Style Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132843054382681374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864815100277410793.post-75971890613427005692021-04-11T21:30:45.323-04:002021-04-11T21:30:45.323-04:00Since the Modge Podge waterproofs the tiled area, ...Since the Modge Podge waterproofs the tiled area, would this work in a shower? We are so lucky (not) to have a harvest gold colored bathtub with 4" square white ceramic tile in the entire tub surround. It is left over from 1980. I'm thinking that is I did this with a subtle print with a gold color in it, it might not look so bad. (Maybe black and gold for a Pittsburgh Steelers look). lol What do you think about the shower/tub surround?
