My husband is so sweet! He has apparently enjoyed all of his home projects lately, so he came up with this one on his own. We had extra wainscoting left over from the nursery project, so he decided to paint it red to match our dining room & a wall in our breakfast area & then glued it up as a backsplash under my kitchen cabinets. It really adds a lot to the room! Here is the kitchen before:
And here's the handyman, hard at work. He's gotten really good at cutting these boards perfectly after working with them in the nursery. Mark, thanks for sharing your tricks!
Power tools: a legitimate way for grown men to get to play with toys.
Because red is so hard to get right, he had to put on 6 coats of base, primer & paint. Yikes!
Notice here our very fancy weights to hold the board to the wall while the glue dried: paper reams.
Here's the finished product. Pretty cool, huh? Thanks J!
