Kitchen Backsplash

A couple of years ago we were looking for a budget upgrade to the look of the kitchen and decided to add a backsplash above the kitchen counter. The local Home Depot had a couple of different brands of peel and stick tiles and we chose the more expensive as on-line reviews said they stuck better. I prepped the surface by washing with a TSP solution. I used a utility knife with a fresh blade and an old level for a straight edge.

We like the look so I did both bathrooms too. All for under $100. The vinyl 'tiles' are easier to keep clean and after two full seasons and 10,000 miles, they are still stuck.

Looks great!

I replaced that wallpaper strip (which was peeling badly) with stained and varnished pine 1 X 6.

If I hadn't done that, I'd be copying your project now.
