Kitchen Backsplash!

We’ve been working on the kitchen renovation again lately. The main things that have gotten done are some electrical work and the tiled backsplash.

We started on the back wall here with a 2×2 mosaic. I really love how mellow it looks, and the undercabinet light provides plenty of lighting under there. This upper cabinet is where baking supplies live, with bowls and mixer (etc) in the drawers below. So having plug-ins and good lighting here will be a big treat!

Then around the corner we got a little more elaborate above the stove by insetting a decorative focus. Originally I’d planned a 2×2 copper tile to use as a border, but it was discontinued before I could order it. This gorgeous piece of slate, cut into strips, makes a lovely accent. At least I think so! This backsplash was hubby’s first ever tiling project, and I think he did a great job.

There are still a couple things to do at that end of the kitchen, such as the light rail. But we’ll turn our focus to the other end next, I think. More photos someday when we get another chunk done.

Oh, do note my FlyLady style shiny kitchen sink! 🙂 I consider it clean if the only visible dishes are clean and in the dishrack.
