Your Kitchen: Great Backsplashes For Wood Cabinets
The kitchen backsplash selection is often left to the very end of a remodel. Don't let it be an afterthought. Use this opportunity to personalize your space and bring together all the elements of your kitchen.
After my last idea book on tile backsplashes, I received many requests for examples with wood cabinets.

Bring a sample with you when shopping for tile.
Here are some inspiring photos to get your creative juices flowing.
