Looking in the other direction down towards the public beach.. At least a couple of sandcastles were built of course.. Later on in the evening I was reading and Chris came up to tell me to grab the camera and come down to the beach, quick..

Easy DIY Bunting. )Gardening season is.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.
