Adding Beadboard to Cabinets and Backsplash

We've made a big change in our kitchen!
I love beadboard. I love it's cottagey look.

I have wanted to add more of it to my kitchen.

Up until now I couldn't get beadboard on the 

back of my open cabinet because it's

thickness would interfere with the width of

the shelves and the center support.

Problem solved!

 I finally got the look I was after using 

beadboard wallpaper. 

I found it at Lowe's for $19.

 Here's the inside back of the cabinet done.

Time to make a batch of my brownies 

before we tackle the backsplash.

 We wanted the backsplash part to be
removable and not ruin the tile.
We used a thin piece wood we had 

from another project and cut it to size.  

We cut out holes for the outlets. 

We could then easily apply the wallpaper

 and paint it before installing it.. 

We painted it, as well as the cabinet backs
 with 2 light coats of BM Cloud White.
 It was the same paint we used on the
big salvaged cabinet project under ou bar
 counter, (HERE).  We just pressed the 

beadboard covered wood sheet into place
under the cabinet. It was a snug fit and
didn't require any glue. Again, we wanted to
be able to remove it if needed in the future. 

 To finish off the ends and give the piece the
 look of a piece of furniture, we added
brackets. Larry attached them at the
top from inside the cabinet. It further
 helped to hold the backsplash firmly in
place. A small piece of molding
was added to the bottom

 of the bracket to finish the edge.  

 Here it is finished waiting for the painted
outlet covers to dry before adding. The
beadboard pattern continues from inside
 the cabinet down the backsplash.

 Bringing a few of my white and green pieces

onto the counter for March. The green
bottles are filled with oils and vinegar.

 A green bunny platter on a plate rack

looks great against the white beadboard.

The dishes for March are

Portmeirion Botanic Garden.

Here's a close-up of the back.

 We have real beadboard in other areas 

of the kitchen and this looks just like it.

 We are very happy with how it turned out. 

We just needed to buy the paper and the 

two brackets and still have paper left over

for another another small project.

 This backsplash and cabinet lining will
work with all of my holiday and
seasonal dish changes. 

 It lightens up the kitchen too.

 The March look.

 We left the two small cuphooks under
 the cabinet for all my signs.

This one is 'Happy St. Patrick's Day'.

Cheers!
