Countertop/backsplash question?

I think the glass tiles are getting a bit old. I never tire of good old white subway tiles, but I also like your idea of white tiles laid in a diamond pattern.

glass in a mistake -- maint./installation -- AVOID.

Subway tiles are fine. As it is a kid area -- bigger tiles -- less grout to maintain. A mirror may be nice -- easy to install.

A slab of the same granite would look good, and avoid junction of two materials, but might be too too for a kids' room. Then again, it'd make a good shaving sink if it becomes an older kid's bedroom.

I've been seeing a lot of mirrored backsplashes & I find the idea intriguing but if it's above a kid's sink, keeping it clean may be an issue but I do love the look. You can never go wrong with plain white subway tiles.

Your children will have nearly outgrown the playroom by the time you complete this project. And there it will sit.

Why? Do you know that nyc10023 is a procrastinator?

How about glass painted on the back or plexiglass?

I'm sure I've seen both on apartmenttherapy.com - you could do search for the pictures that ppl sent in.

I am a procrastinator, but not this month. I have someone in right now to fix all the things that need fixing and installing things that need to be installed.

No, not at all . . . I know that kids grow up and out of playroom years very quickly. At least the wetbar part of the playroom. At least until they start drinking in middle school.

Just glue some stainless steel sheeting up.

Use mucilage. I love saying 'mucilage'. I don't know why.
