Well today I thought I'd get back to some home projects that I haven't updated you all on yet. I am showing off our finished backlash. I am very happy with how it turned out.
It took me quite a while to determine what I wanted. I looked at tile for a long time but just couldn't find that one that spoke to me. I finally decided to go with a tongue and grove paneling that we then trimmed out. I am very happy with my choice. It was relatively inexpensive compared to tile and allowed me to paint it a white that matched the cabinets. I found it at Lowe's in their trim section on an end cap. It's a great option for painting or staining. Like I said, I chose to paint it. Here is a picture of the packaging.
It went up pretty quickly which was a must for me. There is nothing worse then a mess in your kitchen and after living in a house under renovation for several months, the quicker the better. Here is what it looked like once it was all up before the hubs painted it.
If you remember, there was a cabinet to the left of the sink that I planned on putting back up once the paneling was painted. Here it is before the paneling was installed.
I liked it, but once it was down the kitchen felt SO much bigger with it gone that I decided to keep it down and install floating shelves instead. I am so glad I did! I love the way it looks. It opens up the kitchen and really does make my dishes much easier to access. I know some people don't like floating shelves but I think they are such a great way to showcase your pretty dishes and make access fast. Here is the kitchen as of today. I hope you like it as much as I do! I'm hoping to enjoy it for years to come!
