Finally at a point that I can replace old Formica countertop. I plan to replace countertops with frost white quartz. I want to use bead board as backsplash; (a valid suggestion from a previous post) because I already have three types of stone in kitchen with a new countertop making four. I don’t want to add a tile backsplash and want to use quartz only on countertop.

1. Wanted opinions on using bead board all the way to ceiling?
2. Should bead board be limited only area below and above cabinets?

Have attached two photos of cabinets and third is breakfast area. I think bead board would reflect the ceiling in this area.

Thanks in advance
