A new apartment this year brought me into a new kitchen - one that thankfully had many nicer upgrades from my previous rental - but was minus a protective backsplash! I quickly started researching an easy, non permanent solution to take care of my new kitchen walls and protect them from my splatters and haphazard cooking messes.

I found these simple peel-and-stick subway tiles on Amazon and decided - hey, why not give them a try? I’m SO glad I did because with a little effort they brought my simple kitchen to another level of homey. I cannot believe the difference they made in both look and function. No one believes me when I say I did my own tile…with stickers!

So here is what I used and how exactly it came together so you too can easily use these nifty stickers and upgrade your rental kitchen!
