painting the cupboard fronts, they are a dark wood with a slight shine not much. bought a primer, white for this and possibly will start off with a white base.
then i am going to work on the splashback and this is just an idea and putting it out for all to mull and consider :) :) :)
make paper tiles and on some cover with wallpaper, simple pattern very.. some with blank paper white/off white/ or colour in the pattern and then some of personal photos.
here is what i am mulling myself, over the sink i will put images of photography i have based around water, over the cooker and prep areas images around food as in celebrations and stuff and then over the washing machine images of fashion either that i am in, or others or past etc...silly?
i think it would be fun. cover all with perspex or glass and seal.
would the sealing be very difficult and what if you decided to change it all can it be undone without a hellova mess?
The idea for the splashback is very good, however you would need to use a reasonable thick glass, maybe 6mm, as 2 or 3mm maybe a little fragile as things would be knocked against a splashback. Sealing around the glass would be simple, using a clear mastic which would seal and also hold the glass in place
