Hello Fabulistas! Around this time of year many of my clients start thinking about revamping their kitchens. Summer’s about to end and the holiday season will be here before we know it. So, we have to have fab kitchens for entertaining! The kitchen backsplash may seem like a small detail, but it can make a huge difference. There are several materials to choose from and the key is narrowing it down to what’s best for you and your home. Magnetic backsplashes If you like to use every inch of space, you should think about investing in a magnetic backsplash. The magnetic backsplash is useful for hanging knives, clipping on a magnetic spatula holder, tacking recipes on so they are easy to see while cooking, or even posting your grocery list. There are so many ways you can use it!
