Nick R. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi Everyone! It was time to spice up the Ollie, so I decided to add some contrast to break up that "sterile" look of all white in the kitchen and dining areas... So, I added some Aspect Frosted Quartz Stone! It's pretty easy to apply, it's a "lick 'em, stick 'em" product (peel and stick). It is "real" quartz stone, doesn't add too much weight but worth it's weight in looks! Here's what I come up with... There's lot's of flavors to choose from... here's the link where I got mine if you're interested. https://diydecorstore.com/product/aspect-peel-and-stick-stone-backsplash/ 1 5 Las Vegas, NV | 2020 LE II #612 | 2020 Ford F-150 Platinum FX4 EcoBoost Max Tow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Mike and Carol Posted July 24, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2021 That certainly breaks up the white walls. Does it make it seem dark inside? I notice that they have a bunch of shades. Mike Texas Hill Country | 2016 Elite II #135 | 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick R. Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 No, not at all... there's still so much white that reflects from the light, I don't notice it. Maybe because I took the photos with the blinds closed and the LED's are on it may seem that way. It really makes it look "classy". 1 1 Las Vegas, NV | 2020 LE II #612 | 2020 Ford F-150 Platinum FX4 EcoBoost Max Tow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks SeaDawg! Yes, each tile is very thin with a 3M type backing. No problem behind my stove. I’ve had this on for almost 1.5 yrs and easy to wipe off. Very minor pealing in a spot or two but a very small drop of Locktite SG Gel and problem solved. Easy to clean, no staining. Actually better and safer than bare fiberglass. The stone will actually shield flames/heat infinitely better than without it. I don’t get a lot of splatter from my iron skillet, but it still looks as good as the day I installed it. The 3M backing plus the natural stone keeps the dining area around the window cool to the touch in summer temps in Las Vegas (118 deg), in addition the Ollie’s double insulation. Naturally, the metal window frame is still blistering hot inside in those temps. 👍 1 Las Vegas, NV | 2020 LE II #612 | 2020 Ford F-150 Platinum FX4 EcoBoost Max Tow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do that, but the husband hates dealing with all the throw pillows. I justify the few we have by making them serve double duty - in the dinette or for securing items in the overhead compartments while traveling.

Ray and Susan Huff Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Whoa . . . . . almost $200/sq ft! Is that correct? Definitely a "rich" look 😀 Oops!. . . . I read it wrong. $200 is for the kit of 15 sq ft.

Overland Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Pretty cool. I’d love to see it in person. My only concern is that it would be difficult to clean, with the texture and all the joints. Is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more reasonable Hi Ray and Susan, I was able to find a discount coupon on the Internet before I placed my order, so I got it for less... don't pay retail, right? I knew the look I wanted, so I went for it and haven't looked back.

If I do notice a spot, which is very rare for me, I just use a mixture of organic disinfectant/cleaner and it's a good as new. Samples are the best way to decide, I just went for it and I'm real happy with it! 1 Las Vegas, NV | 2020 LE II #612 | 2020 Ford F-150 Platinum FX4 EcoBoost Max Tow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dehne Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 First class job! Looks great and I like the contrast, Something to consider.

KeysConchs Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Our Oliver has a similar type peel-and-stick backsplash in both the kitchen and bathroom. It does add a nice bit of color to the whiteness. 202A5A92-AC23-450F-A23F-7F86A24D6573.heicDAE144EE-25BB-406F-94CF-5241B7AF237C.heic 2020 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. LE2 hull# 344.
