We're thinking of doing a ceramic tile backsplash all the way from the countertops to the underside of the cabinets. We've had a problem with the puny 4" backsplash, and water getting behind it from being splashed when I'm washing dishes. This will solve that problem, and the problem of splatter when we put the cooktop in the corner.
I watch "Designed to Sell", "Sell This House", "Flip That House", and others. I always learn something from them, even if it is something NOT to do. ;o)
You would not believe the hideous shade of green that this house had in the master bedroom when Talon bought it. He repainted it very nicely but there are a few little flecks hidden around the door of the old color. Bleck! I don't know how anyone slept in there.
