Do you have any tips for updating beech counter tops? Mine are good quality, but a rather dated orangey shade. I have applied a white wax then furnish on top to brighten & lighten them up while still showing the wood grain, however the surface isn't tough enough to withstand all the wear & tear kitchen work tops have to endure (after just six months, there are many scratches in the wax/varnish). I'd be grateful for any ideas.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02518117926779633496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618114936688162288.post-89585117500661864442016-09-12T09:38:20.058-04:002016-09-12T09:38:20.058-04:00Thank you Cristina!

What I like about this tile is the fact they are all the same width so it is easy to line up, that way you don't have to have the same pattern or line of tiles the whole way across possibly. I am seeing either big blocky tiles all the same which seems boring or I see them with various widths and you have to line them up and it will all have the same pattern to it, not as interesting to look at. I think the tile you picked has a better look and easier to work with.

The thing that bothered me the most was that while I was cutting the tiles they got separated from the back mesh that hold them together!<br />The cuts took time, you have to go slowly with the saw, letting it do the job. I didn't align the tile to the saw I simply followed lines that I drew on the tiles. <br />In order to keep them from separating from the back mesh, I laid them on a tray to bring them up to the kitchen (as I was working in the backyard)<br />You would get soak if not wearing protection while cutting them!<br />For filling remaining small areas I did it little tile by little tile.Cristina Garayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229690505771934030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618114936688162288.post-45876944812885132252016-09-12T08:25:25.611-04:002016-09-12T08:25:25.611-04:00Thanks so much for your kind words!

I added a link to the product in the resources page, the tab is at the top of the blog, but it looks like I need to add that info here in the post. I bought the marble mosaic tiles over at Ebay, this is the link: http://goo.gl/WOB2GY. It looks like they still have it. <br />You're right, this type of tiles were easy to line up.

Well done! I have bookmarked several of them! You spent a lot of time detailing your process for us here and it is so appreciated. I know others here have asked about the marble you used for the back splash you used, but you did not respond. I have looked online and can't seem to locate it either. Please share where you got it and the brand and model color name. I see a lot of hexagon versions of this type of marble but that looks more difficult to cut and line up. Please, please share.

So many people don't show that crucial step and then people have no clue! Loving your choice of marble, that's the one I am dying to use in my kitchen.
