decided that what I used needed to be grey to go with the rest of the house and match the cabinets better so I chose Minwax Classic Grey Stain from Lowe’s for a cost of about $10.00.
I stained the boards and wiped the stain back.
Once they were dry I started putting the boards up. After all the boards were in place and nailed in, I sealed it with Minwax Polyurethane and caulked with clear caulk where the backsplash meets the countertop for waterproofing.
The result? A fabulous looking budget backsplash for about $76.00 plus tax!
Materials I used for this project:
Design Innovations Reclaimed 3.5-in x 4-ft Weathered Wood Cedar Wall Plank (Lowe’s)
Minwax Classic Grey Stain (Lowe’s)
Minwax Polyurethane (Lowe’s)
Clear Kitchen and Bath Caulk (Lowe’s)
