Kitchen backsplash tile

Post Reply | Watch this Post

My husband and I have recently purchase a new home. The house is 21 years old and contains much of the original cabinets, applainces, tile, doors, etc. The first project we intend to start is with the kitchen. The cabinets are very dark brown wood with laminate sides. We intend to strip and paint them (our finances will not allow us to replace them). Does anyone have any suggestions on how we may change the tile backsplash behind the stove, around the kitchen wall, under the window, above the sink? It's horrid! Can we paint it? Can we tile over it? Could we cover it with a stainless steel backsplash? Or is removal our only option? And, if so, how would we go about removing it without causing much damage to the wall surface? Please help us. We are new at this DIY home improvement, but we want to try, we need to try. Money is tight and we want the satisfaction of having completed the renovation ourselves. Thanks so much!
