Backsplash? No backsplash? What kind of backsplash?
Comments (25)didn't have time to read all the answers. I have no backsplash and have never regretted it...been over 6 yrs. It is painted with BM matte...which has ceramic in it. It is as beautiful now as it was when first painted. I love the fact that I can showcase other things ...art etc in my kitchen and no competition. Also if I ever want to change it is as quick as a paint brush...expense is minimal..paint only ! All in all I think it is serene as you point out . Here is one pick. Since I have a lot of high heat cooking in my kitchen..built in deep fat fryer as well as gas cook top I can definitely speak to the longevity of paint only. c ( more at this album )...See MoreShelves or no? Need to decide before backsplash
Comments (22)Sophie - a cabinet was originally drawn but as usual I second guessed it. My dream kitchen is to have no upper cabinets at all but that’s not practical for us. We are both tall and I need the storage. So with this big window I thought to eliminate the cabinet on the left to create a nice open feeling. The cabinet would be fairly small anyway. My cabinets are custom so I certainly could get another made if I chose. CP - thanks for the mock-up. I don’t think I like them sideways like that. Thanks for the feedback on having them go the other way. I appreciate your opinion!...See MoreBacksplash design with floating shelves
Comments (7)I would probably lower both sets of shelves. As is, the top shelf is higher than the over-the-fridge cabinet (which would make it at a completely inaccessible height for me)....See MoreTo backsplash, or not to backsplash - that is the question...
Comments (4)From the glimpse you've given us, you have a really nice kitchen. Your countertop is a "busy" pattern. Really like the painted wall (in lieu of high backsplash) you have with it -- that wall color is as perfect as it gets. Are you changing the countertop; if not, definitely would not add a backsplash. If your fridge is running well, would NOT replace it for a smaller (counter dept) one, the full opening of which could be impeded by the countertops, making it difficult or impossible to remove the veggie drawers for a thorough cleaning as needed. Would NOT b ox in the fridge -- you'd need to lose cabinet space to do that. Instead, invest in a few more magnets and fully embrace having the sides exposed. Dollar Tree sells some wide magnetic clamps that would let you hold a tablet for an ongoing grocery list, etc. Similar to this but black ... and a lot less expensive. The work and last every bit as well. I've had to glue the magnet back in to both the more expensive one and a less expensive one after dropping them. Still work well....See Moreediblekitchen
