Colored tile dates a bathroom and is a hard sell when competing with brand new homes and their gleaming white bathroom fixtures. What’s hot now is white subway tile. If you don’t have the funds or time for a bathroom remodel but want a similar look, consider this trick…just paint! If you do it right, you can paint the tiles and give your bathroom an updated look for less. Here are the simple steps:

1. Clean the tile thoroughly with trisodium phosphate (TSP).
2. Apply a high quality primer.
3. Apply 2 coats of polyurethane oil-based enamel - marine grade.

Bye bye baby blue tiles!
