I just bought my first house for an amazing price. The reason for the great price is that the former owners bought it and flipped it — er, attempted to flip it — themselves, with little to no carpentry experience and are now desperate to sell after having everything important (heating, air, gas, etc.) replaced [...]

I did a screen shot of this commercial from YouTube. My wife and I were watching a commercial about Calphalon pans when we saw these beautiful tiles in the background. I tried Google, but have only come up with tons of square mosaics or horizontal and/or vertical mosaic tiles. Is there a specific name for [...]

So I have this ugly laminate material for my current backsplash circa 1980. I have purchased 12"x12" glass mosaic tile to replace the ugly stuff. We knew that thinset would never adhere to the laminate, so we tore it off. But now the drywall is damaged and unlevel.(see photo) http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s160/mcleary496/backsplash.jpg I’m looking for an alternative [...]

A small backsplash like that shouldn’t have to cost 0+!!! I’ve already checked craigslist and did a google search, so far [...]
