About 6 years ago, we did a cheapie (approx. $5K) kitchen reno - professionally re-painted cabinets, including new hinges and hardware; new sink; new countertop; new flooring; and paint.
I also painted our backsplash, which had been hideous. It really needed a third coat and then I'd planned on painting in the grout lines.
And then my dad got sick, and then my mom moved in, and then a whole bunch more "and thens".
Hubby really wants to give me a whole new kitchen. I have zero interest in shelling out $25K to over-improve a perfectly functional kitchen.
As I've shared, I'm getting all new appliances (stainless steel) in the New Year. In the meantime, I hate that backsplash!
Behold, my $300/3-hour backsplash makeover.

And hooray, hooray, Bosch has finally brought out a replacement for their discontinued 18" wide, tall tub dishwasher, and I will be pre-ordering mine tomorrow. So hopefully, it's buh-bye to this one:
