We used peel and stick from Menard's in our 190. No additional adhesive. Looks great.

Looked at the order and we bought three packs of 4 so a total of 12 squares. Used every one. it is time consuming to put them up and you should use a level so that the tiles are even. Make sure the RPOD counter is level and then go from there. Use a template to make cuts around window. Better to ruin a template and start over than to overcut an actual tile. They are not cheap.

Well I finished my backsplash this morning. Was pretty easy actually. Started from the center,worked out from there, trimmed a little at the ends. Tiles are called Smart Tiles from Lowes and come in 6 packs. Used 2 6 packs and had left over tiles to fix problems. The tile looks like glass and went on really smooth. Used a wooden pizza roller to smooth out tiles.

That looks great. I’m hoping to get mine installed next weekend along with a window in the door.
Keep those improvements coming in.

Looks great! Seems like another mod to add to the list that I didn't know that I needed until I saw it.....

That looks great and sounds like a fairly straight-ahead process. I'm a blues lover so I'm keeping an eye out for something either shades of blue and/or pewter-ish or stainless steel-ish. Thanks for posting the info and photo.
