Carla’s Backsplash

December 6, 2010 by Bethany Sy

This weekend, we took a little day trip to Indianola to give Carla’s kitchen a bit of a face-lift. Like the rest of us, Carla and her husband are tackling one thing at a time in their home… and right now the kitchen is at the top of their list! And just in time for some serious holiday baking!

Here is their kitchen… pre-backsplash.

And here it is after we gave it a little lovin’. Carla wanted a lot of contrast on her backsplash and loved the idea of browns, creams, and grays! She’s intending to paint an accent wall blue-gray, as well as replace the pulls on the cabinets. Sometimes the small things can make the biggest difference!!

Thanks Carla!!
