We would have added an accent to the island face or a backsplash using mosiac tile to add some color & flair.

So that would cost a lot more than me doing the finish work and since it will be my primary residence I’d like to finish it up myself (tiling, drywall, paint, etc.)

I have a rental where there is tile under the vanity that was broken during a previous plumbing repair. 

There is a pattern of people with little experience or money or credit (lot's of 18 year olds wanting to buy apartment complexes as soon as they turn 18 in this thread) who have more ambition than strategy.

I just wanted to know if there are any LVT alternatives for splash tiles and countertop?
