Wine cork backsplash

Very nice effect - I have started my collection of corks just now. :-)

Neat. Back in the 70s I made a suspended ceiling in my game room of empty Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans. Later sold the house to a non-drinker. He liked the ceiling but planned to replace it with soda cans.

This is what the kitchen area originally looked like.

All of those mirrors on the left are gone as well. Will be putting up Smart Tiles there next. Have gotten them all off without breaking any so I have a full set of mirrios for a 1999 Mountain Aire if anybody needs some.

On a previous trailer we did something similar with interesting bumper stickers from our travels.

Good job. Back in the 60s we wallpapered one wall with boone's farm labels. The fun part was emptying the bottles, was it the same for you?

Yes, that was the best part of the project.

That looks great!

When I read the title of your post I didn't know what to expect.
That is really neat. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice but my wine comes in a box! lol

Here is the final product. We feel that it is a big improvement as neither DW or I liked all the mirrors on the walls.

After


When I stated that it took 3 days, I did not mean that we worked on this continuously for 3 days. We took lots of breaks for other activities. I did not keep track of the total number of hours, but I would estimate that it was about 15 hours total from start to finish, not counting the time spent cutting corks in half.

Next up.....
Replacing the mirrors in the kitchen backsplash with Smart Tiles.
