My husband & I took on a considerable project last weekend…

I always forget how much work it is to mulch our property.  I think that it will just take half a day at most & it will be done!  Spoiler:  it never happens that way!  It also doesn’t help that we add a new mulch feature to our land every year!

This year we added a massive area to the side of our house!  I could never figure out exactly what I wanted to do with that side of the house, so it was bare over there!  Last fall, my husband put more topsoil around that side & after walking on it with the dogs all winter, it became a muddy mess, so it was the perfect time to do something with it!  It’s getting mulched out for now & then, we’ll decide if/when we add any plants!  We get our house sprayed for bugs (#loghomeproblems), so I want to keep it as neat & clear over there as possible.

Hey there, Besties! 🌟

A Chic Beadboard Backsplash Transformation at the Kay House

So, we aimed for simplicity with the Kay House backsplash. But who am I kidding? "Simple" isn't in my vocabulary! 🙈

🌼 Beadboard Kitchen Backsplash Extravaganza 🌼

Originally, my heart was set on an enchanting German schmear backdrop inspired by Amy's kitchen magic. I mean, totally swoon-worthy. But, given our time crunch (because, let's face it, we're all eager to wrap up and dive into our own home sanctuaries), we opted for something a tad simpler yet equally enchanting.

Enter the timeless elegance of beadboard. Oh, how it whispers "farmhouse chic" in perfect harmony with our freshly painted cabinets. 🎨

Why Beadboard? Here's the Scoop!

Opting for smaller beadboard panels was a game-changer—major kudos to my parents for this genius move! Less hassle, more charm. And, of course, we matched the paint to the cabinets for that seamless look.

Installation was a family affair, with my parents masterfully securing the panels with finishing nails and staples. A touch-up here and there, and voila—a backsplash to behold!

And the trim? A surplus warehouse gem that tied everything together, echoing the kitchen's grey floors and adding that final touch of unity.

Beadboard: A Beginner's Dream for Kitchen Backsplashes

Truly, beadboard paneling is a DIY newbie's dream come true. And guess what? It's got me dreaming of bringing this farmhouse flair to my own kitchen, which, as of now, is a blank canvas craving some love.

Living in a log home adds a twist—our drywall space is limited, but that just spices up the challenge, right? Perhaps it's time for that German schmear after all... or maybe stick with the beadboard charm? 🤔

Beadboard Paneling: Simple, Charming, Unmistakably Farmhouse

So, there you have it, lovelies! Beadboard paneling not only elevates the kitchen aesthetic with its simple elegance but also serves as a testament to the beauty of DIY. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting, it's a fabulously farmhouse way to sprinkle a little extra charm into your kitchen.

Stay tuned because who knows? My own kitchen might just be the next beadboard showcase! 🌿✨
