Question about beadboard backsplash
Comments (1)I've also seen it both ways, but I prefer it without the backsplash that comes with the vanity top. I'm doing bead board that way in the guest bath I'm getting ready to start on....See MoreDo you like your beadboard backsplash?
Comments (46)Wow! Found this discussion a year after it was going on and it was very helpful! We're remodeling our kitchen now, it is small (8 X 10), I'm getting new cabs in "cinnamon spice", and a granite counter top that is a speckling of browns, tans, gold-ish colors with black specks (I have no idea what the call it). I have an exposed cement :( chimney stack that we have decided to tile over with sheets of 2 X 2 tumbled white/off white marble. I was really not sure on back splash and we were thinking tile - but I thought of bead board last night and think it will go really well if painted the "off white/pumpkin" Laura Ashley color I found....See MoreQuestion about your beadboard backsplash
Comments (6)We have a kitchen full of beadboard--ceiling, walls, wainscoting--all old and original to the house. Based upon our experience, I do not think that caulking that seam is overkill--especially on the backsplash, and I think that if it is done right, it wouldn't be that noticeable. We have tubes, tubes, and more tubes of caulking in our kitchen walls and ceiling and wainscot, and it's not noticeable. We usually just caulk the joint and then wipe it with damp paper towels. It pushes the caulk in where it's needed and wipes away what could become unsightly. Of course, ours is OLD and looks OLD with all the bumps, nurples, and gouges of age....LOL Still, I see no problem with caulking your new beadboard as long as you're careful to wipe it completely away....See MoreBeadboard backsplash
Comments (21)I have a solid wood, tongue in groove beadboard backsplash that has been in for almost 5 years. I like the look and like being able to easily hang pictures on the wood but a few things to keep in mind are how to handle the areas near the sink and behind the stove. I have soapstone behind the sink and the slightly higher back guard on the range to prevent any issues in those two areas. Because my backsplash is solid wood I have had issues with movement in the wood during the winter which has led to a good bit of recaulking and painting, I actually just redid ever seam last week. Using a high quality plywood veneer beadboard would prevent these issues. I do not have a problem with gunk build up, I used a semi gloss paint which is very easy to wipe down. And, because I have a flat trim piece where the backsplash meets the counter, I do not have the grooves right at counter level to deal with keeping clean or caulking....See MoreUser
