We're going to put in new counter tops in the kitchen.
As part of Mrs. Zoom's design, ceramic tile will go between the counters and the kitchen cabinets.
Right now, it's painted drywall. The tile Mrs. Zoom got is pretty thick (1/4"?). If I sand the surface to rough up the drywall and remove some paint, do you think the tile will stay up there OK or might it want to tear away after time? I really don't want to rip the drywall out and put up concrete backer-board or blue board but will add that step if there's a reasonable chance that the tile may pull off.
Thoughts?
