We've been having a really tough time trying to find a backsplash that we love for behind the stove.
In my mind, I had wanted a natural looking stone back there. I wanted it to look like a hearth. We looked at SO many options at the home stores, tile stores, even fireplace stores- but couldn't find the right one. They were either too brown in color, or too thick in depth, or the rocks were stacked too symmetrically, or cut too thin.
Since the list of outstanding "to do" items is finally getting shorter, we knew we needed to make a decision.
That's when we found this:
We both decided it's perfect! The color is just right to go with the gray cabinets and countertops!
Mike was able to install it himself that afternoon- so it also saved us the time, cost and mess of having the masonry guy in.
I also noticed that the pattern goes nicely with our new curtains!
I should really take a new "After" shot during the day... you can see it was night when I took this one, compared to the daytime "Before" photo!
Maybe when I take the final "Before & After" of the whole kitchen... we have the electricians coming this week to finish in-cabinet lighting and swap some of the switch assignments.
