Hi everyone, it's been a long time since i've posted here but I just started my DIY backplash project and thought I'd post some updates.

I have natural cherry cabinets and dakota mahogany granite and had a hard time finding a blackplash that worked with both. My wife and I wanted a subtle, neutral look. Maybe this will give someone with a similar combination some ideas.

This was our kitchen right after the granite was installed. The cherry has really darkened in the couple of years since.

We decided on Crema Ivory Bamboo stone, available at any Home Depot.

We are shooting for this final look:

I started this past weekend, in the corner where I could interlock two sheets. It's finicky stuff, and the small tiles tend to want to move around a bit until they've set, hence the random spacers.

Will continue to lay tiles this coming weekend. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the tiles up and under my window sill trim. I think I'll pull it off and backcut the trim slightly with a router so the tiles can be pushed up and under.

Stay tuned!
