Painting and Decorating Tile
Copyright 2004, Pamela Cole Harris

Ceramic tile can be beautiful and elegant. But it can also be
bland and uninspired. If you want to add a little color or
creativity to your tile, here's how!
Remember to clean your tile and let it dry before you begin any
project.
1. Seal both tile and surrounding grout with a water-based floor
varnish. Ask your home improvement retailer for suggestions
about a good water-based floor varnish for your area.
2. Brush paint primer on both tile and grout. Let it dry for at
least 12 hours before you begin painting.
3. With an artist's brush, paint your pattern with latex paint.
Simple designs are best. You can use stencils or, if you are
brave, try painting your own original design directly on the
tile. Let the tile dry before sealing.
4. Seal the tiles with two coats of water-based varnish. Let
the tile dry between coats.
Decorating your old tile can be easy and fun. Now, anyone have
a great idea for rescuing an old bathtub? (Without making it a
backyard planter, that is!)
