Kitchen Backsplash Project

The very boring, vanilla, before picture.


The supplies purchased from Lowes. (I won't hold my breath for an endorsement check.)

The cute and willing carpenter, also known as "Dad." Works for lunch from Taco Bell.



The result!





Loved it so much we did the other wall.


Took the trimmings and lined the foot of the cabinets.


(All thepoor quality pics were taken with my camera phone. Santa is dead, because he has never brought me a new digital camera. )

  5. Cute! My question is, will they be hard to clean if they get food splattered on them?

  13. Spicy!!!

    You know I'd pay for a sit down mexi cuisine for that kind of bang in my kitchen. I want red, but my cabinets are cherry stain and it might be a bit much.
