When we first moved in to this little flat, I thought maybe I would paint something under the cabinets in the kitchen, which is just white wall space. Then I realized how long that would take, that I didn't have the energy, and that I would rather invest my time into something we can take when we leave this place.
I got an idea a while back to give our kitchen a little facelift using some thrifted plates as a faux backsplash. Since then, I have been scouring for pretty plates of all shapes and sizes, some thrifted, some store-bought. I finally accumulated enough this weekend to complete this project.
So here is our newly refreshed kitchen "backsplash." Sorry for the photo quality. I was just too lazy to get out my big girl camera. Too lazy to even move the dirty glasses from the kitchen counter, apparently.
It has definitely been a DIY kind of weekend. So much homemaking, so little time. Boy, do I love being home and being pseudo-crafty.

That's a really cute idea, and something that is easy to do in a rented space. I like it! How did you attach the plates to the wall?
Thanks! I found plate hangers at Target and Pier 1 for hanging them.
Chelsea! This backsplash is genius. The plates add so much vintage charm.
I love our kitchen, but it's pretty dated and in need of some changes FOR SURE. I love seeing new ideas like this.
P.S. Thanks for the compliments on the cupcakes! And you're right, my treats were there but not me! I had to send them with Bryan because I was working tonight! Missed you guys! :)
I LOVE this:) super cute!
