Modern Rustic Kitchen Makeover // ORC Week-4: Backsplash!

Week 4 is complete and the panic is starting to set in! I can’t believe I only have 2 more weeks to complete my kitchen makeover for the One Room Challenge. I’m also about to leave for a mini vacay this weekend so that doesn’t help. But hopefully I’ll come back refreshed to finish the space.

Since last week I have made quite a bit of progress. For starters my table makeover is complete! I’ll be sharing more on what and how I did it later. But the transformation fits the space so much better!

The weathered top is more amazing in person and I’m soo happy how it turned out.

I then started my backsplash which I wasn’t planning on doing yet, but I’m so happy I did.

It was a little more time consuming that I thought. But it doesn’t help to have to constantly stop to attend to 2 little ones! In the end I worked on it for a couple hours each day for about 4 days, so not too bad.

I still need to grout and seal, which hopefully that will be done today.

Finally, I also completed refinishing my barstools. I’ll be sharing the full tutorial later, but here’s the after. I made the top a lighter color to match the rest of my wood accents.

Next up will be painting my cabinets. I have everything sanded and prepped I’m just waiting for my new sprayer to arrive then I’ll be finishing that project.

So there’s my week 4 recap! Thanks again to my amazing sponsors that are helping me get this room done.

Finally, if you haven’t heard about the One Room Challenge its hosted by Calling It Home and the challenge goes on for 6 weeks where I’ll update you each week with the progress I’ve made. Make sure to check out the other linking participants HERE.
