Bought This 1960's Ranch in Really Bad Shape (kitchen Remodel Pics).

Before and after pictures of my kitchen (we did all the work ourselves). We still need to add a back-splash and cabinet hardware. Would like some input on what color to go with for the back-splash. Also walls are a pale green....should I go darker or another color? I love chickens as you can see from these pictures. I just recently added the valances (designed and made them myself) .
Granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances
Went with Maple Cabinets and Bamboo floors
I designed and made my chicken valances
My obsession is chickens
Waiting on the granite that will go under the microwave
Tore out cabinets, wood paneling, 4 layers of linoleum and appliances.
Added a backsplash and hardware to the cabinet doors.
Another view of backsplash.
So happy with the way my backsplash turned out. I drilled and added all the cabinet door knobs myself.

Fantastic job, Jill! You must be so happy with it so far! I converted your post into a question so you can get some color advice. :)

We did a make over in our 60's ranch and used white subway tiles. They don't distract, easy to cleam, and match everything. You did an awesome job on your kitchen.

I would use a simple neutral tile that won't take away from your granite (which is gorgeous), but would add to it, maybe find a color in the granite you like and use it for the tile (neutrals never go out of style) then add color to your walls with paint (something cheap and easy to change over the years) Love the makeover! Can't wait to do our 1940's house with 1970's kitchen...

Jill, I'm 62 and I feel the same,,I love projects....I have more of a "to do" rather than "DONE list.. the backsplash looks great..I also sew lots, well, lots of fabric and ideas... Was this your first tile project? I have a general idea ,, But am no way qualified on some of the stuff that needs to be done..rest of it,, I can handle I think..

Beautiful! The colors and textures exude comfort and warmth. I LOVE the chickens. They remind me of Babe's, a popular restaurant here in north Texas. If you haven't been, I highly recommend.
