    There are some great peel and stick options that may interest you at any home improvement store. They are surprisingly inexpensive and can make a big impact. Wallpaper is another option. There are some durable and beautiful papers out there to compliment any decorating taste. I saw “This Old House” had a presentation on how to install the peel and stick tiles. It looked like small glass tiles. You might check it out. Good luck!! Send a pic when you complete your project. I’m curious about what you will come up with as your solution. Deanna

      What is on your backsplash now? If your area is smooth you could use a nice contact paper or otherwise just paint it to freshen it up. They have textured wallpaper that you can paint at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Just some other thoughts. Deanna

    I have seen really cute and easy back splashes using thin wood like lath, some people stained them others painted them and I saw one where she painted them with three shades of blue, so I guess you could do what ever suited you, also some people glued them and others just use small nails, hope this helps xx

      I would love to do Tile but I’d have to cut some of them around the window sills and I’ve never cut Tile and don’t have a cutter anyway. I’m afraid I’ll screw it up and then waste my money 💰 Thanks

    I have seen where people have used thin wood like lath that can be bought at big box stores cheaply, some have stained them, some have painted them a solid color, others have used multiple colors, and some have glued them and others have used small nails and I thought they all looked terrific, hope this helps xx
