New Kitchen Backsplash

It's spring and that means only one thing. House and yard projects. We did a TON last year from bathroom remodels to new flooring to the kitchen ceiling/molding makeover and thus, the cycle begins again this year.

First up - the backsplash in the kitchen. I strongly dislike the countertops and cabinets, but seeing as how we'll only be in this house a couple more years, we just don't want to put the $$ in for granite and new cabinets. The previous owners did update the hardware with nice, nickel pulls and knobs, but didn't change out the hinges. Derek spent some time tediously replacing each of those which definitely helped. It wasn't enough though, so we had to add some backsplash. We hired our handyman to add a small, tumbled stone backsplash to help tie in all the random colors and are very pleased with how it turned out.

We are very pleased with how it draws attention away from the cabinets and ads some new flavor to the kitchen!
