Do you love Fall fairs as much as I do?I’ve started showing you a few of the different versions of my giant kitchen chalkboard here and there because, well, you seem to be enjoying them despite my best efforts to make them look terrible..
Suddenly it looked like I had done a whole ton of work in there, but really all I did was take about an hour of my time one evening and slop a little paint on there..It even make the area around my super old range look a little more current..
So here’s why it works:.I used the concept of color blocking here and just painted on a solid block of color that isn’t found anywhere else in the room.That really just makes it a pop of the dark gray color rather than a continuation of something else from the room, and gives it that “backsplash” feel, since “real” backsplashes usually use a material that isn’t used anywhere else in the room..
Even though this color is a neutral (Martha Stewart Crevecoeur), it’s still a bold color and really makes a statement and draws the eye in.Wimpy colors just can’t do the heavy lifting, decor-wise, that’s needed to make up for the lack of a real solid tile or stone backsplash..Contrast: If I would have picked a color too similar to the cabinetry or the counter, the effect would be lost..
So that’s how you can do something really simple like painting a tiny strip of wall, and get away with calling it a backsplash.
