I'm curious about what is beyond the wall cabinets to the left of this image.

Where does the tile backsplash stop? I have a similar situation where a peninsula will extend further than the wall cabinets. Should I stop the backsplash where the wall cabinet stops, or extend all the way to the end of the peninsula slab?
