My parents had this in their kitchen, only in the 4×4 tile and pastel green with a black border. It’s gone now, sadly.
The bathroom still has the original blue tile with a grey trim. I searched for this stuff about 10 years ago and found nothing online. Amazed when I saw that kitchen. Love it!
Way to go!

My aunt has these same tiles in her kitchen, just not on the ceiling! It is kind of mind-blowing.

I really like the way that this kitchen is done – I almost feel like I’m underwater from the effect of the tile!

This is a first for me! I’ve never seen tiles used in this way, but I like it! Big thumbs up, Kurt!

Yes, my first impression was that it’s almost diner-like. Maybe I’d cook more if I had that kitchen.

Fabulous kitchen! Makes me anxious to get the paint off the tiled backsplash in our 1956 kitchen. We don’t have these wonderful pearled tiles but we do have a lot of 4″ tiles that are yellow with blue vines. Once unconvered I’m sure they will have a similar effect!

Wow. It reminds me of the quilted stainless steel used in diners, or maybe living in an oyster. Very cool.

I’ve never seen the 8×8 plastic tiles – and never on a ceiling. But the 4×4 plastic tiles were very common here in Western New York. Kudos to Kurt for keeping them in place!
