I'd like to see photos of what people have done, instead.

I'm planning on just having sheet rock and semi-gloss paint behind my range (which will be ADA compliant and will have the controls on the front). In some year down the road I figure I can always tile the back splash if I find something that appeals to me, and won't be too busy.

The house is log (with sheet rock behind the range), a window and prep station to the right, an upper cabinet to the left. Cabinets will all be wood, and stained a little darker than the house logs. (They will match whatever stain color I choose for the wide plank pine floors in the rest of the house.) The counter will be Silestone quartz "olive", and the floor a wood-look tile that will look aged. The quartz will come up about three inches against walls in this room.

I do think tile back spash here will look too busy. At the moment, I am deciding between SW7531 )Canvas Tan) or SW 7011 (Natural Choice) (both in the global spice paint collection) for wall color.

Anyhow, I would like to see what people have done using simply paint, instead. (A full decision won't be made until I install the counters and the stain for the logs is complete.) It just never hurts to get more ideas...
