TIN CEILING TILES

I have always loved Victorian era tin ceiling tiles.  Love them!

Isn't this photo amazing?  Look at that gorgeous bar and the pressed tin ceiling.  It's amazing!  Love it!



This is from Google Images.  I love the ceiling in this kitchen.   Isn't it cool?


This is also from Google Images.  I love the copper tone tin ceiling in this bar. 

But, tin ceiling tiles can be used in lots of ways.  You can get the "faux" tin ceiling tiles at Home Depot.  They come in several colors.  I have been eyeing them for two years.  I personally love the idea of using them on the backsplash in the kitchen.

Better Homes and Garden - this one is my favorite!!


Again from BHG.  Isn't that cool looking?  Wanna closer look?



Neat, huh?  I love the silver with the black cabinets. 



So, this is an old picture of my kitchen from the one time it was clean for more than ten minutes.  What do you think the silverish tin ceiling tiles would look like on my backsplash?  Opinions?  I can't decide.  Seriously, I cannot decide, which is why I've been thinking about it for TWO YEARS!  HELP!

  1. My cousin in MI has a beautiful house that he's done mostly himself. He used tin tiles on his kitchen ceiling and painted them in an ivory color. The texture is beautiful and I love the look. I think they would look great as a backsplash!

  2. Tin tiles would make a lovely backsplash. Personally I love having a more substantial, easy to wipe surface on the kitchen walls. I fall more into the would love to have granite all the way up the wall of my kitchen but tin tiles would be great too to serve a functional and aesthetical purpose.

  6. I think they'd look great! Here's an idea--buy some tiles, and hold on tight to your receipt. Bring them home and prop them up on your counter to see if you like the effect. If not, you can always return them, but I think it'll be a winner!

  7. I definitely vote YES! I would love to do them in mine, but my colors are too creamy and not white enough for the silver.

    My niece did the tile backsplash at the love shack. It looks wonderful, and she said it was the easiest project of any she has done. I think you just cut it with heavy duty scissors but I'm not sure.

    I wonder if there's a shade that would work in mine. Probably not. HRMP.

    Do it!

    (Still thinking about movies to suggest)

  13. Greetings Tanya. I was tremendously marveled with your favorites and impressions. Love it surely. Feel to clear my expression too but failed to find perfect words perhaps. Okay, let talk about your Tin ceiling tiles of Victoria era. Looks really great and oh! wanna be there! Again the copper tone tin ceiling, the idea of using them on the backsplash, and silver with black cabinets every images look crazy loving. I like the style you delivered all the beauties. Love your Ceiling tiles adventures and of course I will be back here again to explore your crazy life updates.

  14. Kitchen floor tiles are as important as the tiles at any other area of your home. This is important for getting the ease and comfort when you are working at your place. alicatado cocina
