Lately we've had a string of clients that makes us step out of our comfort zone and try something new! We love that! But this particular backsplash caused us a bit of anxiety the whole week before. Pam had her mind set on having a stainless steel-looking backsplash. And WE had our mind set on giving her what she wanted. Thomas Paints makes a "appliance paint" that's meant to paint your stoves ... [ Read More ]

And we're really excited about this one!Sarah's been wanting a backsplash in her kitchen for quite some time, but with the business of life and having other projects taking priority, the backsplash has been sitting dormant and on the back burner.

Jamie and her hubs have revamped just about every other room in their house EXCEPT the kitchen. It's an understandably intimidating room to tackle, and can be very expensive. But it doesn't have to be. We slapped some paint on the backsplash... and next weekend, Jamie and her husband are gonna slap some paint on their cabinets (hence the lack of hardware and wood putty all over the cabinet ...

Amanda and I finally got our scheduling issues figured out. And I'm glad we did, because this backsplash really brings something to the 'table' ...HAHA get it? Kitchen humor!Here are the before pictures... wouldn't you just say her kitchen is LACKING something?

Due to a miscommunication, we didn't paint a backsplash this weekend. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share the story about how the backsplash painting came about. Because... it never fails: every time we paint a backsplash, the homeowner asks how we got started painting backsplashes to look like tile. And I think the hubs is getting sick of hearing this story.I was living in ... [ Read More ]

Our new friend Mary (a fellow Chicago Bear's fan) ushered our vehicle right into her garage when we arrived in the midst of a torrential downpour. Her kitchen is a bright sunny yellow (I love yellow), and has a great floor plan. But the area over the sink was leaving something to be desired. Mary, bless her heart, made a valiant effort to make it less weird, but confided, 'I just want a window ... [ Read More ]
