I wanted to share with you guys my lovely new beadboard backsplash. It is an affordable backsplash option that anyone can DIY & I love it! Let’s just start from the beginning. So, I have wanted a beadboard backsplash for months, but with him being gone for a few months for the military & our busy lives, we finally got around to it on Memorial day weekend. So, thinking it would only take a few hours to put up the beadboard, I was sure it would not consume our whole holiday weekend. I mean how hard could it be? I was wrong. I should have known it was going to be a tedious project when we went to our local Lowe’s to pick up the beadboard & their saw was broken. We drove 45 minutes to the next nearest Lowe’s & purchased our beadboard & trim. So without boring you, let me just say that the project ended up taking 2 days, & about 7 additional trips to Lowe’s. It wasn’t a difficult project per say, but we did run into a few issues that made it take longer then expected. Thankfully my husband and I had a lot of fun working on this together even though there were some bumps along the way. If you are thinking about doing this project ready below for some additional tips & tricks… Lets admire some Before & After photos now….

I’m planning on doing this soon I’m repainting and have wanted beadboard forever what did you guys use to cut out the outlets? I’m going to have Lowe’s cut my bigger pieces but doubt they’ll do outlets and that’s what has me stressed the most
Hi, Liz — how has the area behind your sink held up over time with water? I was thinking about beadboard for a cheap backsplash in our new house but my husband is concerned with water damage.
Thoughts/Tips?
I’ve learned a few important things by means of your post. I will also like to say that there is a situation in which you will obtain a loan and don’t need a co-signer such as a Government Student Aid Loan. But when you are getting financing through a standard bank then you need to be ready to have a cosigner ready to allow you to. The lenders may base their very own decision using a few elements but the greatest will be your credit score. There are some loan providers that will also look at your work history and make up your mind based on that but in many instances it will depend on your score.
thx
