PIP: Kitchen backsplash

[jchokie79]

Over the summer we finally painted our cabinets white, right before that we also painted our kitchen Silver Sage. And just this past week, DH put up backsplash and added under cabinet lighting. I love how everything has really come together and what used to be my most hated room in the house is now our fav!

Here's a quick before & after with the oak cabinets.



What it looks like today. We chose gray grout, does it look too dark??





Still need to grout this side.

Yes, DH did, he said they were really easy to install. He got them from Ikea which he said was a lot cheaper than Lowe's.

I love subway tiles, we almost went with it. I think gray grout with white subway tiles look awesome together! We got the grout from Home Depot, the brand was called Polyblend, make sure you get the non-sanded grout so it does not scratch your subway tiles and the color was Delorean Gray.

I was looking at those. I'll let you know if we have any questions when we go to do ours, yours look great.

That looks great!

It looks good. I like the tile and the grout and the new colors.

The only thing I don't like is the missing cabinet doors above the microwave and fridge. Is that intentional?

Looks great!

It is not too dark at all. It looks great.
