Travertine Mosaic
Help – how do I tone down a tumbled travertine backsplash?
We just installed a 4 x 4 mosaic tumbled travertine (cream & tan) back splash in our kitchen. We love it, but the contrast of the cream stone vs. tan stone is darker than we expected – - and it reminds me of a checker board pizza parlor.
I would like to tone it down without tearing it out and starting all over. I’ve attempted to sponge-paint the darker tile to lighten it up a bit, but all of the samples look exactly like that….painted. I just want it to be clean, natural classic looking. Any ideas of another way or product I can use to create a more uniform look?
Btw…it has already been grouted and sealed.
Thanks for your help!
Sorry , nothing you can do. This is the unique quality of travertine. If some one helped you with your selection, they should have told you of this quality of the tile. Good thing you do like it, it will grow on you and you ll get used to it.
Since I ve installed and sold many over the years, the look comes naturally to me.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar..GL
