DIY Kitchen Transformation: Plastering Over Tile for a Budget-Friendly Update

Darien, CT Homeowners Transform Kitchen Backsplash with Budget-Friendly DIY Project A Darien, Connecticut couple recently completed a kitchen renovation project that's catching attention online. Instead of costly demolition, they chose a creative and budget-friendly approach: plastering over their existing tile backsplash. The project, documented in a short video that has gained popularity, features the use of a product called Concretta FS, which allows for easy color customization. "I know this will ruffle feathers," the homeowner, inhonorofdesign, states in the video, referring to the decision to plaster rather than remove the tile. She explains that the old tile was not to their style and that the plastering significantly brightened the kitchen. The process, which involved two coats of plaster and the use of a damp sponge for texturing, took several hours. The couple also sealed the plaster with a special guard to make it more durable and easy to clean. The video concludes with a showcase of the updated kitchen, highlighting the warmth and brightness achieved through this innovative technique. The project serves as an example of how creative DIY solutions can transform a space without extensive costs or demolition.
