Find an Idea for a Unique Kitchen Backsplash

Via

 

I loved the kitchen featured in the March edition of House Beautiful. Those shutters are such a great pop of blue, and the island works well for the small space. But what really caught my eye was the back splash behind the sink and cook top.

At first I thought it was some kind of hand painted tile. But after I read the article, I realized it was fabric laminated between two piece of glass. Fabric as a backsplash! What a great way to incorporate more color and pattern into the space. This idea would be an improvement to any kitchen.  Imagine the possibilities!

 

 

So what do you all think? Would you try this in your house?

It would be a great way to revitalize a kitchen appliance that might no longer go with the décor of the kitchen. Would adding chalkboard paint to your refrigerator be something you would consider?
