When we first had our KB home built, we fully intended to tile our kitchen backsplash ourselves, but surprise-surprise, life happened. And we just plain hadn’t gotten around to doing it. Hey, tile is no joke. So, we had some bead board left over from another project and in a matter of hours, Hubby had slapped it up on the wall and painted it beige to match our cabinets. Voila! Modern-cottage backsplash! It was a relatively quick and easy project (Read: Hubby did all of the work.) And by George, I think I love it. Wood just instantly adds warmth and character to our builder grade home. No more dark, shadowy wall. Bead board for the win!
Huge improvement, looks great!
Thanks Amy!
Love the bead board! Wonderful solution and lovely effect. 🙂
Thanks, Nancy! I thought so too. 🙂
Really looks great! Makes the kitchen look very homey.
Thank you. Exactly how I felt! And for such a small investment.
Such a pleasing amount of detail! I love the way the bead board adds interest but does not overwhelm your kitchen design. A great win/win!
Thank you, Diane! Good point. It’s subtle. I think that’s why I like it so much.
I like the beadboard style. My kitchen;s backsplash is tiled though! But if it wasn’t I would bead board it, too. And tile is no joke at all!
Yes, tile is so permanent, well almost! Tile is a LOT more durable though. I guess we shall see how well the beadboard does. 🙂
Love the bead board-it looks great!
Aw, thanks Judy:)
Awesome improvement! I’m so glad you shared. I wonder how this would look with my tile top counters? Maybe too many lines?
Thank you! I think it would look fine but maybe you could buy a small section and lean it up for a few days to see how you like it.
Great idea to add in a splash of cottage charm with the beadboard – instant character. Looks great! 🙂
Thank u so much Tonya!
