Farm Kitchen Mosaic Backsplash

Overview of the kitchen after the mosaic backsplash installation.

*

Sample sketch for customer. This time with a lot more circles! The inspiration for this mosaic design was the customer's outside environment - mountains. The design pattern mimics colorful, abstracted, rolling hills.

*

A sample board created after discussing colors and patterns in person. The costumer really liked the colors and pattern and expressed a particular interest in the hand carved circle accents.

*

The border behind the skink. The intricate details and accents are evenly scattered through out the whole compostion.

*

A close up of the whimsical, circle pattern.

The far right end of the mosaic backsplash.

A shot of where the two walls meet seamlessly in the corner, the pattern flows perfectly into itself - this is one of the benefits of having a custom, sight specific project.

Chicago Condo Mosaic Backsplash

What an incredible transformation from dull kitchen into a sheek, visually pleasing, unified space!

1

A before shot of the kitchen (taken by costumer). This project was created remotely by phone and email. The project custom mosaic sample was mailed to the customer for approval.

2

For this project, sketches were drawn on top of the printed blue print. Photographs and measurements were sent in by the client. Preliminary sketches of patterns discussed with customer.

3

Color samples. Sample A is the first sample mailed to the customer. Sample B is the second sample mailed and approved (the customer requested the upper rectangles to be slightly smaller)

4

Installation: It is highly recommended to have Chicago Backsplash install your project or a qualified professional with experience installing stained glass mosaics. Be sure to take accurate measurements of your kitchen to ensure proper fitting.

5

Mosaic installs tend to be a bit messy but we got it covered! You can also see the mosaic tiles are intalled as numbered pieces that are taped on the face with tile tape. A map of the project is created to assemble the pieces correctly. This is key if Chicago Backsplash will not be installing your project.

6

Close up of the little window shelf we framed out. This turned out particularly nice and was our customer's favorite feature.

7

Next day: After glue has dried, the tape is pealed away and any excess glue is cleaned off. The tiles are ready to be grouted!

8

The surface is covered with a sanded, charcoal grout. This gets wiped clean soon after it is applied and then sets for a couple days.
