Choosing a Backsplash for the Kitchen


This post serves as proof that between diaper changes and night feedings, Corey has continued to work on completing our kitchen!  At this point, almost all the cupboards are hung and the doors are being installed.  There's still lots of finishing work to do (like finishing the walls and adding lighting, hardware and spacers) but it's exciting to see it begin to take shape.


Here's a photo of the plan we created on Ikea's website.


Take a look at one of my inspiration images and you'll see the look I am hoping to achieve with the white cabinets on top and grey on the bottom.

One thing I noticed about my inspiration kitchen was that the white subway tile backsplash might not have enough impact for my space.  I wanted something a little more eye-catching like the marble tile behind the tub in this picture, which I found when we were beginning to renovate the bathroom.


After a trip to a tile closeout warehouse with Rudy, we found exactly what I was looking for.


I think this grey and white marble will be the perfect choice against our grey and white cupboards and our white quarts countertops.
