No side splash. Tile under cabinets back wall only.

thanks. and then paint the left wall same color as cabinets? I'm a major rookie so I appreciate the help!

No, left wall is a wall, do not paint the color of the cabinets. Paint it the color of the walls.

Are you painting all the wood walls and beams and ceiling? Make sure to get the right shade of gray otherwise it will look bad.

I agree. Do not wrap the tile around the corner.

Good luck!

Ok. I’ll paint cabinets gray and wall whiteish. I’m looking at Behr Gray Color collection paint shades and trying to stay away from any in lavender, blues, or green….

Make sure you talk to a paint expert about sealing the knots in your wood before you prime and paint. It's hard to tell from the pics but I think they may bleed thru the paint.

Thank you for the pointer! I’m so glad we have a professional doing the painting because this is sounding like quite a job. I really appreciate all the advice, everyone, and I’m mad at myself for taking so long to ask on this platform!

Here is a 40 second video of every cabinet I took to inventory knobs. New topic would be for other cabinet in living room but I won’t go there now. I’m in love with grays and dark blue but will add dark blue maybe with living room cabinet…?

Ugh! Ok…. No video posted and can’t delete. The flooring is new but so hard to appreciate with the yellow pine
