This is what the space looked like before. The white walls gave the space a simple and clean look, but it was time for a change.
Stencil Tile Backsplash

Earlier this year, I toyed around with tiling our "breakfast nook" and got as far as ordering samples. I envisioned a pistachio green wall for that retro flare to match our KitchenAid appliances. Fast forward 4 months: I finally did something about it, but not in the way you'd expect! I used the tile stencil and paint I got for a future bathroom project.
Pick a stencil pattern
I used a pouncer from a past stenciling project.
Start stenciling from a corner
Use a level to keep the pattern straight. Our ceiling wasn't exactly level and required touch up afterwards.
Keep stenciling!
You will need to bend the stencil for the edges and hand-paint the corners.

Have a question about this project?
Love this look What is color on your cabinets, please? Is the stencil color the same?
Love it! So fresh!
Did you paint your cabinets too? They look totally different in the after pictures.
I did not! The photos are different due to lighting conditions & photo editing. I would say the true color is somewhere in between - the shadows in the "before" make it look darker and the editing in the "after" lifts the colors. Thanks for reading 😊
