Flat wooden slats can be glued to wall using Power Grab. Leave a small space between counter and lowest level. Fill gap with caulking to prevent water wicking up. I might put caulk at ends of the slats to seal those gaps. Put a bead on wall and push next slat into the previous one. Wipe off excess.
I want to repaint the kitchen and maybe install a frugal backsplash. My walls are that textured drywall and I'm not sure a peel & stick tile will work.

Using Old Blinds as a Back-splash!
These projects make me nervous about wicking water in the seams, which grows mold and breaks down the drywall.
