Adding tile to your kitchen can make your entire home feel brand new. Sarah Macklem, of\u00a0The Yellow Cape Cod<\/a>, found this to be true when she updated her kitchen backsplash with Smart Tiles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to Install Peel & Stick Tiles<\/h2>\n

I’ve been wanting to install a backsplash in our kitchen for a while. I’ve been holding out because I’m planning to make some changes in our foyer that include a new tile floor. I won’t be doing that for a while and I’ve been hesitant to commit to a new kitchen backsplash until I’m ready to tackle the foyer. They are close in proximity and I’d like the new tiles to coordinate. In the meantime, I’ve really been missing a backsplash.<\/p>\n

Peel and Stick Tiles<\/h3>\n

Recently, I was approached by The Home Depot to try out a new product called The Smart Tiles<\/a>, a peel and stick tiles product that you stick directly to the wall with no glue, grout or special tools needed. I read up on the product and the installation process <\/a>sounded\u00a0incredibly simple. The tiles are completely removable, so I decided to\u00a0install peel & stick tiles and give The Smart Tiles a try. I figured it would be a great way to try out a backsplash without committing to a permanent option.<\/p>\n

There was a really nice selection of tiles in different patterns, styles and colors. Two styles in particular appealed to me. They looked almost identical to some tile I was considering as a permanent option. One was a white subway tile style called Metro Blanco<\/a> and the other was a shiny gray subway tile called Metro Grigio. <\/a>I taped samples of both styles to the wall to help me decide which one I liked best. The gray subway tile was the winner.<\/p>\n

The Smart Tiles website <\/a>was\u00a0a great resource for information. There was a short video for every step in the process showing how simple the installation is. I watched all of the videos before collecting my supplies and diving in to the project. From beginning to end, it took me less than two hours to install peel & stick tiles as a backsplash in my kitchen.<\/p>\n
