Beadboard backsplash anyone?

[vaknitter]

After 13 very long weeks my new countertops have finally been installed ! I bit the bullet and did granite with an undermount sink which is a HUGE improvement over my 15yr old white laminate ones. I am leaning toward a beadboard backsplash, but my cabinets are 22" up from the countertop and the hubby only wants the backsplash to be 12". Will it look funny to end the backsplash then have wall, then have cabinet? All the pics I find on-line the cabinets are lower than mine....

I've seen what you have described, and it looked fine to me. However, I would try putting up something temporary that looks like a back splash and then looking at it for a few days to see if you like it or not. Maybe a sample of beadboard or 12 x 12 tiles to get an idea.

Plus, remember: it's your house, so you get to make it look like you want (regardless of what the rest of the world does or thinks).
