Keith took a week off of work and wanted a project to work on, so we decided we would take care of the wall in the downstairs bar area. This is something we had been planning and talking about for a while (and looking on Pinterest)
The first morning of his vacation we went downstairs we decided on a whim to take down all of the cabinets. We didn't like them! I had seen some posts on Pinterest that had given me an idea of tiling the whole wall and then putting up a floating shelf.
Here is Bob the cat helping us out! You can see the tiles we chose- a copper medley that we purchased from Menards. We needed about 5 or 6 boxes to get the job done.
Now Whiskers wants to see how he can help. :) We are almost done here, but decided before we finish putting up the tile we should figure out the shelving. Instead of the floating shelf we decided to use galvanized steel plumbing materials to make the shelf. We purchased that from our local hardware store.
We spray painted the galvanized steel black and attached the pieces to the wall. Then we used a couple pieces of 2 x 12 construction wood to attach to the plumbing. So far we love it! Now we have to finish the tile and then put in the grout.
