- painted subfloor with Mod Podge mixed with red glitter & sealed (previously just painted red, but not sealed, because I was going to put the postcards here)

I posted the below about how I did the tile on someone else’s thread:
If you want to upgrade the counter without ripping it out, I found a product called Simple Mat at Home Depot. It’s a fiberglass infused paper that sticks to the counter. Easy to cut & fit to the space (I eye-balled it, while my friend painstakingly measured). The bottom has flat adhesive you smooth onto the counter. The top has lines of rubbery glue, like when you get a debit or gift card. You’re supposed to be able to place tiles, rearrange, and press them into the glue to finalize layout. We found the tiles sucked onto the glue. I had sprained my left thumb in a fall and have 10 stitches in my right thumb, so I didn’t want to risk a cut or injury on my remaining fingers. I just accepted uneven grout lines. I’m about to post my pics.
I bought this product years ago, shortly after getting the van. Then I found this video using basically the same concept, but using adhesives on both sides of the paper. The Simple Mat comes with adhesive on both sides, but I bought tile adhesive to finish the bullnose. It didn’t stick as well, due to curves of the tile and counter.
