Designing a room in advance is NOT my forte. I would be a terrible interior designer! So blindly having to make BIG design decisions about my 'future kitchen' last year... when our kitchen was only but a hole in the ground ...was anxiety inducing TO SAY THE LEAST. So when the flooring and cabinets started going in, and the kitchen started to feel like it was coming together, I think a lot ... [ Read More ]
Painted Subway Tile Backsplash Tutorial
If you follow on Instagram, you know that we did a painted subway tile backsplash recently, and we made this one to look like SLATE! It turned out amazing if I do say so myself. *this post contains affiliate links* Trela is a long-time reader of our lil’ blog, and choosing slate for her painted subway tile backsplash was totally her call. I got really excited, because while we’re old pros at ... [ Read More ]
How to paint a backsplash!
I'm going to teach you how to PAINT your backsplash to look like actual tile! There are SO many possibilities... with pattern, color combination, etc. This is a great option of you're not ready to commit to the permanency of tile (or the cost, or messy installation). I decided to paint over our backsplash (that I painted the very first week we lived in this house). This is what it looked ... [ Read More ]
Brenda’s Backsplash
I usually try to keep our backsplash updates over on our S/E Backsplash Website, but this most recent one we painted was a little different... and we think deserves a shout-out! Brenda's getting her house all gussied up to put it on the market, and naturally she brought us in to do our thing in her kitchen! We were a little nervous about painting over a darker 'grout' line: Brenda wanted long ... [ Read More ]

Christal had a special request for us... she wanted an aged brick backsplash for her "Pottery Barn meets rustic" home to be completed before her hubby comes home from Afganistan on July 3 as a surprise! And I'm not gonna lie... having never tackled 'aged brick' I was a little nervous and did a lot of Google Image research on old brick.Here's Christal's before shot:Nick did some research of his ...

Josh is one of Nick's co-workers, and we were excited to do our magic in their kitchen!Their only stipulation is that the backsplash be awesome.

Janet’s Backsplash
I know I'm pretty consistent with posting a backsplash each Monday morning... but yesterday? It just didn't happen. I was tired, uncomfortable, and thought I might potentially be in labor. Turns out the babies have shifted... Baby B has taken over as first to exit. And those naughty girls are both breach. They have about 10 days to get it together before things get too tight to move... around 34 ... [ Read More ]
Lynne’s Backsplash
I wish you all could see me taping and painting a backsplash. I think I could probably sell tickets to that show. I get in a lunge position with my feet, which puts me at a perfect height to position the edge of the countertop snugly in the crevice between my bosom and belly. I can only do this for so long before I need to sit down and take 5... or even lay down on a client's couch. Nick's ... [ Read More ]
Melea’s Backsplash
Melea loved the idea of having a backsplash in her kitchen, but didn't love the price tag of expensive tile and labor, not to mention how long and messy a process it is. So naturally, she loved the cost, versatility and instant gratification of our painted backsplashes!! We aim to please!Although her wall was already a neutral color that could have worked as a grout line, we talked her into ... [ Read More ]
Kathy’s Backsplash
YAY!!! We're back at it! This past weekend, we partook in painting our first backsplash since the girls were born. It's been a nice two month siesta, but it feels good to jump back into our creative niche. Kathy was one of my coworkers at the clinic, and she was willing to be our guinea pig for seeing how it would all work bringing the girls with us on the job!Here's Kathy's kitchen... she ...
