Midcentury Kitchen wherere solid pieces of glass that have been painted on the back and then installed. I think they look amazing!  Now obviously, those are brightly colored backsplashes in neutral kitchens, and my situation will be quite different. But it still got my creative juices flowing.

I couldn’t believe it!  That’s totally do-able!

There are several other ideas If you  want to try as well, such as using a stenciled design on the back of the glass, and then one paint technique that I have in mind that uses a spray bottle of paint, and then another that creates a “gold flake” effect, and yet another where I create a marble effect using golds instead of gray paints.  Andyou might even want to try some sort of “mercury glass” effect using gold paints instead of silver.

So you have lots of other paint-on-glass ideas swimming around in my head that you want to try out.  If I do eventually land on a tile backsplash, it’ll be because I’ve exhausted other possibilities.  But for now, I’m really wanting to come up with something that’s beautiful and unique to my kitchen.
