Kitchen Backsplash

Following in the same vein of sprucing up the kitchen without gutting it and starting over, I stumbled upon another idea that would add color and excitement to my kitchen. The area above my stove and under my range hood has been dead space. Quite honestly, I never thought of doing anything with it until I spotted this hand-painted backsplash from The Clay Palette. There are a number of designs available, but I chose this one because the colors really work in my kitchen. The tiles are made of ceramic and feature a still-life mural design that evokes the spirit of good food, fine wine and celebration, which is really what the kitchen is all about, anyway.
