My problem with this is that I can't really tell what the situation was before - was it a passthrough with doors? What was the other backsplash? I didn't vote, because I don't have enough information. I would love to see more "before" pix.

I agree with Matilda - a better detailed 'before' picture or explanation of the situation would have been helpful.

But it looks great!

agree with the above comments, but the finished product looks fabbo!

Looks good but you should know that painted beadboard is a real maintenance nightmare. It gums up with grease on the painted surface and those grooves, yuk! I have it and hate it.

That's mine up there- there wasn't really a backsplash before. The previous owners had put up a line of tile over the counter edge and the walls were very very textured. When the tile was removed the wall fell apart. Yes, there were doors to the pass through and we just removed those to make it more open-but I didn't really consider that part of the project- this was just putting beadboard up on the wall.
We don't have any cooking surfaces on this wall so grease etc... isn't really a problem for us- but I can see where it would be in a lot of kitchens!
