Just wanted to show you how easy it is to work with our faux tin that is going to become the back splash in our Country Shabby Chic kitchen.
The panels can be ordered in numerous colors and finishes. We purchased them in matte white both for the ceiling and back splash. The ceiling panels will be installed in their original finish but we needed to tie in the wall color to the panels for the back splash.
Using the green Paloverde paint and a natural sea sponge provided the perfect "distressed" look that we wanted.
We started by laying out a panel on a flat surface. Then let creativity and the paint take over. By touching the sponge to the paint and then tapping the surface of the panel we got the effect you see here.
We let the embossed surface of the panel dictate the pattern and intensity of the color. This is the finished first panel.. I suspect no two will be alike and that is exactly the look we were going for.
Drying time was mere minutes ( this was done out of doors on a warm day).
Here is the finished panel against the already painted wall. We like the finished look. It pulls in just enough of the wall color while it brightens the area behind the kitchen sink. Once we distress all 5 of our panels we'll be ready for the install !!
