Ashleigh, you never cease to AMAZE ME. Absolutely beautiful & completely unexpected. In the beginning of the video, I incorrectly assumed your video would be like the other YT kitchen DIYs - using contact paper or adhesive faux tile sheet. However, you strategically utilized heated knife, cardboard boxes (which I'm sure you have an abundance of), and paint. These readily available supplies ensures most DIYers could replicate your video for FREE! Thus ensuring it was something every YTer could excel at upgrading their home OR rental. You're a true DIY Boss!! You go sis! I am so-oo looking forward to your weekly videos in 2019. I speak INCREASE to you & your family. May God develop and illuminate your giftings & talents. And may you continue to shine in Two Zero One Nine. Much love & blessings, Rev MLGray aka fruitfullspirit

At first I thought you had put up contact paper but I am very relieved you didn't. Your imagination knows no bounds. If it gets messy you can just tear it down and do it again. Dang, this is so creative.

Ashleigh, awesome. I do a lot of stuff with joint compuond. Try dipping the putty knife filled with joint compound in a couple shades of paint before smudging it on the wall. It makes the brick look nauturally colored and you don't have to paint afterward.

After you seal it you should be good to go it's just like if you were to do it the other way without the cardboard and just use the masking tape and joint compound. I have never had to wipe any backsplash lol always my oven though, so I haven't had to wipe it down yet.

So awesome! I've watched this video a half a dozen times now! Do anyone know if you could use just basic spackle for this project? Or does it require the joint compound. I know they are "similar" products. And I'm sure for most of us, spackle might be more prone to being found around ones garage than joint compound. Just a Q! Any info is appreciated! TYFS!!! 💘💘💘

I LOVE this idea!! But a few questions, is there a concern for a fire hazard since it’s cardboard? Or does the joint compound prevent fire? Another question, from your experience do you think it would be easier to make the back splash with the joint compound before putting it on the wall?
@AshleighLaurenCrafts
5 жыл бұрын
Thank you, Heather! You can buy the fire retardant spray to spray on the backsplash I think you can purchase from any hardware store and probably Amazon too! For me it was better to do it on the wall because it will harden in place and you can get a better feel for the color and texture of the brick with it on the wall first. You can do it either way though it's all up to your preference. ☺️ Great questions!
@HeatherSaltas
5 жыл бұрын
Ashleigh Lauren that’s a good idea to spray with a flame retardant, I didn’t even think of that lol and that makes sense to do the brick after you put it on the wall. I watched your video again and saw how you needed to bend it a little to get it secured in place. Thank you for answering me! I love your videos! ❤️

@AshleighLaurenCrafts
5 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure. Most people will use polyurethane to seal wood or floors. Others use the polycrylic for both sealing furniture and wood especially if you will be using the surface a lot. Also the polyurethane can yellow over time so that's why when sealing furniture people will use the polycrylic.

Looks cool and all but using highly flammable cardboard as a backsplash behind your stove or as a back seal for outlets and light switches is down right dangerous and under the N.E.C code is illegal nationwide! Hate to have a small grease flare up and burn the entire home to the ground!
