![]() ![]() I also want to add something to the tile above the stove top, either hang something up there or add some kind of stencil detail. I’m also still debating on what to do with the wood stove mount and light fixtures. You may notice I have a few samples on the walls already. Now that the basksplash is painted white, I’m off to find a new color for the walls. White shows dirt more easily, but with the semi-gloss finish, it’s all really easy to wipe clean. The same thing happened when I painted the cabinets white. The only problem I’ve seen so far is that now that the backsplash is white, it tends to get dirty fast. It can be tinted in any color of course, but I think the white that it is already is perfect. Olympic, off the shelf semi-gloss One Paint. It is the same paint I used on my kitchen cabinets as well. I chose my favorite paint in the world to paint the tile backsplash. Keep Mineral spirits on hand to clean up any messes, and to remove paint from hands. Then when the whole project is complete you can choose to toss the brush or clean it up with mineral spirits.Ģ. When you are ready to paint again, pull it out and it’s ready to go. When finished painting for the day, wrap brush in plastic grocery sack and place in freezer. Oil base is smelly, but I think it has the best adhesive.ġ. So I’d say use whichever of the two primers you have on hand, but if you’re needing to buy one, I’d say go with the Zinsser. I ran out of the Zinsser primer, so I switched over to Kilz primer (pictured above) which I had also tested out on a sample before hand. All in all it took me a couple of weeks to complete the job.Īlso keep in mind, it’s going to look way bad before it gets looking better. So keep in mind if you try this at home, this is not an overnight project. I kept doing a scratch test on the tile to make sure it was cured before applying the second coat. Remember my sample? It’s best to let it cure 3-7 days. I just used a large paint brush, being careful to brush in all one direction and avoiding any brush marks and drips.Īfter the first coat was on, I let it sit for a couple of days to Cure. I removed all of the outlet plates, covered the counter top with a large trash bag and began brushing on the primer. I’m not sure if this helped all that much, but I wanted to do everything I could to get it ready to paint. I then sanded the tile down with my hand sander and a heavy grain of sand paper. It needed a good cleaning, especially above the stove top where it tends to collect the most grease. Once I finally got all of the caulk off, the next step was to wash the tile down with a scrub brush and Dawn dish soap. It is crucial to remove ALL of the caulk, because paint will not stick to it. I used a raiser blade and scrapped, scrapped and scrapped some more until it was completely gone. This caulk was on there so good that it actually took days to remove it. I had to remove the clear caulking that was on all of the edges where the backsplash met the granite counter tops. So what I learned was that the paint just needed time to cure.īut before I could paint I had to do a little prep work, and when I say a little, I actually mean a Lot!! I picked it up, tried another scratch test and you know what? My fingernail didn’t scratch off any of the primer this time. Weeks had past and then one day I was out in the garage and I spotted my failed tile. Feeling frustrated I gave up on the idea of painting our tile and threw the tile back into the garage. After one day I did a scratch test using my fingernail to see if the paint would scratch off and it did. I did a test using Zinsser oil base primer. The first thing I did was test out the paint on an extra piece of tile we had laying around in our garage to make sure that the primer would adhere to it. So Yes! I painted our kitchen tile backsplash and today I’m going to share with you how I did it. Well, I’m not much of a ‘tare it out‘ kind of person, I’m more of a ‘ how can I take what I have and make it better?‘ kind of person, and usually always when I ask myself that question, Now I know when most people want new tile, they tare out the old and put in something pretty and new. So I am on a mission to turn this kitchen into an Emily’s cottage dream kitchen. It’s not because it’s an ugly kitchen by any means, but because it just doesn’t fit my style. You may have noticed that I don’t share a whole lot of pictures of our kitchen. ![]()

In Shardlight the dominant colors are dark green, yellow and brown, which create an atmosphere of waste, disease and overall decay, exactly what we’d expect in a world almost completely destroyed in a nuclear war. Armed with this tool they published 16 great titles so far and they all stand out with their unique visual identity, and by that we don’t mean just the pixel graphics. ![]() In case you’re not familiar, most of their games are made in Adventure Game Studio, a special tool for making retro pixelated P&C adventures. I haven't decided yet whether it's as good as Technobabylon, but they've done an absolutely rad job yet again.The last game we talked about from our favorite retro P&C adventurists, the Wadjet Eye studio, was Technobabylon, which was about a false utopian future in a cyberpunk setting, and now Wadjet Eye tests the waters of dystopian post-apocalypse, balancing between chaos and autocratic rule of the minority, the choice doesn’t look good.įirst of all, we must remark that Wadjet Eye surprises us again and again with design and visual presentation of their games, especially within a “cramped” design space that comes with their style. That said, I'm glad that Shardlight has the focus it has though. When you look at his latest, vastly successful game (that GOG needs to get ASAP :) ), it seems pretty clear to me that both off key jokes and a deeply emotional storyline with complex character relationships can go hand in hand without risking suspension of disbelief. And while some mechanics in these games were definitely exactly that, it was still the setting, mood and in some cases even the story that I loved in those games. When Jake Rodkin once explained why The Walking Dead deviated so much from Telltale's former direction, he called his Sam & Max games an "interactive joke generator". And like Portal and Bioshock Infinite, it's the merging of story and gameplay that makes the greatest of games. I want a strong story and an intricate setting as much as the next gal with a degree in literature, but I can still play an adventure game primarily for its puzzles. That's kind of still the case in adventure games for me. Historically, you don't play games for their story, but for the gameplay. I mean, you don't play Leisure Suit Larry for the story, right?Įxactly, you play them for the jokes.

Of course in all outdoor activities, having a bigger knife is much more desirable than a small pocket knife.īut that is all about it. A pocket knife is much more suitable than a multi-tool in these situations. These functions are enough for a lot of practical purposes where you need to cut thick ropes or cloth, carve wood, build fire in the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and a lot of other bush-crafting activities. If your usage pattern mostly includes cutting, slicing, or carving with a blade, then a pocket knife will serve you much better than a multi-tool. This is perhaps the most important factor while choosing between a pocket knife and a multi-tool. Your usage pattern determines what you need! For everyday chores where I need to cut something or open a package, I always find myself going for the pocket knife. I always realize this when I carry both together. It almost feels as if some extra effort is needed to do the same task with a multi-tool compared to a pocket knife.Ī pocket knife feels much more natural in your hands compared to a bulky multi-tool and is much quicker and easier to deploy and work with. But for extended use, you will notice the weight and non-ergonomic grip on the tool slowing and tiring you down. For light cutting duties, multi-tool will do just fine. You will particularly notice this when using the knife for extended periods of time. The feeling is not just the same as holding a pocket knife. The body of the multi-tool is used as the handle to grip on to when using it as a knife. Multi-tools do not have ergonomic handles, the kind you get in pocket knives. ![]() Part of this is because of the design and ergonomics of the tool. They do work, but not as smoothly and seamlessly as a pocket knife. Some multi-tools do have one-handed opening knives which can be flicked open just like a pocket knife. ![]() ![]() The platform is simple to use but has a lot of features that are quite useful.
