Back splash for the wifes kitchen

[giles]

Looks good buddy! If I was going to change anything, I'd just paint the walls. Leave them cabinets alone. We did that once and wish I'd gotten the advice Jamie gave...because it looked like total shit in a short amount of time.

Hmm. Something to think about. We've already talked about painting, but it's a weird layout. There's no break up between any of the walls. It's been suggested to book end the walls. Hard to explain without pictures.

I wouldn't recommend painting those cabinets either. You'll regret it if you do.

 

[Dustinb80]

Understood. I'll definitely take your advice. Thanks Joel. What's your 20?

I think a tan/light brown would look good on the wall.

Why do I see this working out like this?

Looks great Dustin, nice work! Fuggin "to-do" list doesn't seem to shrink any does it.

 

[Dustinb80]

Lol no it never does.

Finished yesterday, I'll post the results tomorrow.

Wasn't thinking white, I'm thinking a darker Brown, something to match the darker Brown of the tile. Thoughts?

while the ill effect of painting oak would be less noticeable with a dark paint color, you will still see the texture of the wood grain through the paint, which may not be bothersome to your eye, but it does not appeal to me on interior trim that deserves a fine finish.

Finished up Saturday, put the new covers on and here it is. The wife is happy!!!

Looks good buddy. Nice work.

Looks great man!!!

We need to update our kitchen and this inspiring to see.

Job well done!

 

[Bigslam51]

Looks awesome, fugger!

 

[Dustinb80]

Thanks guys.

That looks great Dustin! Those cabinets look fine to me. Seeing better pics has me wondering why you would want to change them?

I'm glad my wife doesn't get on here she's been on me about doing a back splash I have no interest in it. Not to mention I have like 5 projects I've started and have not finished yet. Mostly trim work in our room and my daughter's room I have no motivation to finish it right now.

Looks good dustin, wife should be happy with the outcome....

 

[Dustinb80]

Thanks guys.

Phil I dunno why, maybe it's seeing it in person. We've talked about adding pulls to them. Still trying to decide. I'm thinking the back splash will help away the decision.

I'm going to do this in our kitchen while I'm on leave. If the walls are textured do you have to sand them flat before laying the tile?
