DIY Kitchen Backsplash Idea

We have the perfect kitchen backsplash for a DIY kitchen backsplash idea or even several ideas.  The only wall in our kitchen that’s “backsplashed” is the one with the kitchen sink.  The kitchen window covers the backsplash area over the sink.  So the backsplash area is two rectangles.  Nothing to cut in except the light switches and electrical plates.

We’ve lived here ten years.  As I DIYer you would think I would have tackled the backsplash years ago.

But I haven’t been able to decide.  I’ve carried home tile samples, paint samples, and even flooring samples.

Nothing rings my bell.

Here’s the other side of the backsplash area.  So far, I’ve painted it oatmeal.  The same color as the rest of the room including the dining room and living area.  Boring.

Oh, note the wire person and two penguins.  I shaped them when my son was about 14 years old and he was watching a show on penguins!

I found chalkboard paper roll table runner.  It will be part of my kitchen backsplash later in the week…along with an idea involving the wire penguins.

Stay tuned also for a project update on this globe I painted with chalkboard paint.  I’m learning geography…fast!

Here’s another way to display wood blocks!  I shared 5 ideas to decorate with wood blocks…and then found another.  Everything looks better under a glass cloche!

I added thin copper lights and dollar store flowers on top.  Fun lighting when watching Gray’s Anatomy.  We finished The Blacklist a couple of nights ago.  🙂

Update:  The kitchen backsplash is done!  Click here to see the finished project.
