I got the backsplash done this weekend as well as installed my wall oven. I'm saving the painting of the cabinets until after Christmas. I have not yet stained the countertops because the backsplash took longer than I expected (I'm not a pro). It took 3 days for the backsplash - one day for each countertop and one day to grout both. I'll be installing a walnut mini countertop behind the stove and will be making a hanging hood w/insert over the stove.
