Putting a new tile backsplash in your kitchen is a great way to increase your home’s value.

And add a bit of beauty to your space. If you choose your tiles wisely, this could be one of the easiest tile jobs to install yourself.

Here are step by step instructions on how to DIY a kitchen tile backsplash for your kitchen.

Choosing Your Tiles

If you’re a beginner at tiling, choosing the right tile can help your project go a lot easier.

Mosaic sheets of tile are the easiest to work with, in my experience.

The smaller each tile is on that mosaic sheet, the better. Some are so simple that you only need to use tile nippers or a manual tile cutter to make cuts.

Looking to make your house a home with the addition of a modern man cave?

You aren’t the only one. Popularly known as a man cave, this room can also be referred to as the games room, rec room or TV room.

That means it doesn’t just have to cater to the men of the house, but everybody who wants to kick back, relax, and have a little fun!

Our experts here at Vintage Hot Tubs in Victoria and Langford have helped customers add to an existing games room and create a man cave from scratch, which is why we’ve put our heads together and created a list of the top five ideas to help you create the best man cave!

1. The Basics: Painting, Furniture & More

The foundation of your man cave can set the mood for countless game nights, Friday nights with the kids, and Sunday afternoons spent watching football.

Start with the paint. If this room is specifically for the man of the house to have a place to blow off steam, hang posters and place college trophies, it might be a good idea to let him choose the colour. You can never go wrong with a white base and navy blue or red as an accent colour. On the other hand, if this room is more geared toward relaxation and family fun, keeping it a neutral gray, beige, or taupe might be your best bet.

Next, the flooring should also be taken into consideration. Laminate flooring can be easier to clean than carpet, but won’t offer a cozy seat when the couch is full. Why not consider laminate or hardwood as a base, with a large, cozy carpet in the couch and coffee table area? That’s what we like to call the best of both worlds.

Lastly, let’s think about the furniture. You’ll want to make way for a comfortable couch, large coffee table and side tables for snacks and drinks, a TV stand, shelving, and even a lamp or two.

While searching the world web for some information on brick work for floors, we came across this blog called ” house of hargrove ”

The bloggers name is Elaine Hargrove ( from Dallas ) and she has certainly done some wonderful work with her blog.

We did find some photos’ of brick floors and we have enclosed them below for you

“I searched high and low for the perfect brick.  We ended up using pavers instead of full size brick, but they are real brick.

I just ended up liking the look and feel under the foot better.  I went all around and actually ended up liking the ones at Floor and Decor the best which made it easy.

We used brick pavers on our front walkway, front porch, 1st entry, mudroom, back breezeway and will be using them on our friend entrance porch.

I love how brick gives an old vintage feel and since we want this house to feel old and historic, it was a great choice.”
