White and Black Tin Tiles

 

Another set of tin tiles were custom ordered and I have to say they might be my favorite combo so far!

Check out 4 other combo tutorials.

I needed to restock my tile "wood" so picked up this 4'X8' sheet of hardboard at the local Rona. It was a feat to get this awkwardly large board into the truck box but a kind gentleman in the parking lot offered his help. I strapped it in and made the 10 km trip to my workshop.

Once my handyman was back home from his remote week away at a time job he and I ripped the sheet into a new backing for the large French provincial dresser I was working on and the rest into 12"X12" squares.

Looks like I have a good stock on hand again.

And the new dresser backing too.

The customer chose her tile pattern and the colors "chalk white with worn dark grey/black showing thru". I mixed Fusion Mineral paint ash with Country Chic embossing paste and American Paint Company pewter mica flakes for a metallic feel for the base.

This was applied over the stencil with an offset pallet knife.

Lift to reveal (top) and move stencil and repeat on next 4 tiles.

Here are all 5 tiles with their raised tile pattern left to dry well.

The base was painted solid with Dixie Belle caviar mixed with their satin clear coat.

Again this step was left to dry well.

This next step is so fun to watch happen, see the Rustoleum linen white paint dry brushed over as it pops the design to life.

I did this step and let it dry.

Then repeated a couple more times to get a more solid white.

Here is checkpoint photo sent to customer to see if it was indeed her vision.

They really look like old white tiles worn over the years.

And they were exactly what she wanted.

here is a video view

Time to seal them up. Seeing they will be used in a bathroom I chose a satin clear coat.

All complete and ready to take their air mail trip to California.
