We are LOVING this kitchen update and only wish we had done this when we moved in four years ago!
After we treated the counters with Rustoleum Countertop Transformation kit here, we had bare torn up drywall for a backsplash.
The laminate countertops extended up the wall, where it had been glued to the drywall. When we scraped it off, it decided to take bits of the wall with it. Up until that point we were thinking to keep the costs down we would just paint the wall. Now looking back I really am glad we had to do a backsplash!
Here are some photos of the kitchen before the awesome beadboard was installed...
