How to paint ceramic tile

This ceramic tile was pretty outdated and because of budgets reasons and time, it could not be replaced. 

So I decided to paint it!  I had some Zinsser Primer that could be used on ceramic tile. 

So I slapped it on that pink tile and covered it up with some nice tan paint.

I also cut some simple molding and put it up in a large rectangle.  And then painted that whole area white, including the mantel. 

Here are some photos of what took place...

I was happy with the end result!
