DIY Stone Backsplash (diy backsplash above cabinets)

- When I started this project 6 months ago, I didn't think I'd wait so long to finish it. At first I ran out of tiles and had to order more. But then? I just didn't have the motivation to continue... so in the box they sat, until now. My biggest kitchen project - complete! And I love how my faux stone backsplash turned out! It feels to me like I've stepped into a custom home in another country.
Watch how I did the bottom half of the backsplash: • DIY Kitchen Backsplash...

putting the rocks all the way to the top of the walls make it look like a cottage kitchen. very nice
Thanks Lenara!
it came out beautifully. I didn't realize it was going to make such a huge difference bringing it all the way up to the ceiling. and the spackling at the edges truly made it look even better.
You are a panel cutting queen! Your kitchen transformation is coming along beautifully. I love it. Thank you for recording, editing & sharing; most inspiring.
I can truly relate 😂. I look around my house, I do not even know where to start now because I don't finish one task and jump to another one! Projects, artworks, etc etc...😉
Total understand.
It looks soooooo good! Be proud of yourself, Dahlia. You are doing great!
Right? I believe she's doing great.
The commentary in this is just... perfect- and so relatable. It looks stunning
Thanks so much Samiyah!
First off you do fantastic things. Your thought process usually always pays off. I'm the opposite of you. When I decide to do something I drive myself crazy getting it done. Sometimes I would benefit from taking a break from whatever it is I'm doing. But that's not me. I'll stay up all night until it's done. I guess I'm afraid I won't go back to it or something. Also a perfectionist which can drive me crazy too. Anyway you do wonderful things and your thought process and determination is wonderful.
Thanks Arlene! Totally understand the feeling. I find myself in situations where I'll over work myself one night and im drained for days which ends up being counterproductive
My neck hurts just watching you do this but I'm so glad you were able to finish the project.
LOL it was a tiny bit uncomfortable in those positions
That made such a big difference! Looks amazing!
Up and down to positions those and getting it right is a very big work out. I couldn’t do it. 🥰 I love it
I love spending a day in the life with Dalia. The stone looks beautiful and I am loving this project. I'm the worst at getting things done- I've been reorganizing my clothes closet for months but can never finish. I keep feeling like it won't be what I want if I finish so I keep putting it off. I just can't go focused until I know what I want. Yes- trust your gut. I'm going to tackle it again- wish me luck! ☀️🦩🌴🪸😊🥰☺️❤️
OH! MY! GOSH! Me, too! Once I start, I'm "fine" ("fine" until the anxiety kicks in and then feel overwhelmed - WHY??). I think, too, I get overwhelmed with making a decision...
Sometimes I think it's all or nothing - my brain and feelings sabotage my desire to complete a project. So, now, I tell myself, I need to change my default. Replace those destructive ideas with thoughts of I'm doing this for me! I want a pretty home, I want ... fill in the blank. However, it's not 100% fool-proof, it's still in process.
Hope it all works out for you. We waste so much time & energy just to get and stay on task. I can be a starter but lousy finisher.
You got this darling!!!!
Oh I'm struggling with one of my closets too! Thanks for hanging out with me Katrina! 💞
This was a great idea. It looks soooo much better, very pretty and realistic.
Thanks Madeline!
It really does look quaint and cozy. I understand the precise cutting and spackling can tire a body. Keep in mind the "great feeling" of accomplishment when you finish. Don't think of your camera as filming just a video. You're talking to all of us. You're not alone. Kiddo, you have more energy than I. (I did finish knitting a beanie for a loved one). I could watch you curled up in bed all day talking to us! Take care Dalia ♥️
Awh such kind words, Michele. Thank you! The end result is always so rewarding. Love that you finished your beanie! I'm sure whoever it's for will adore it 💞
@DIYDalia He will. ♥️ My best buddy
It looks fantastic! I love seeing your videos. They gave me so much inspiration when I moved into my first apartment. I was able to make the space my home in a way I never thought I could! You're creativity and ability to problem solve is amazing!
Awh thanks so much for the kind words Tori!
Hot dog, that’s AMAZING! I love your style😍 I look forward to trying some of these things when we move into our rental😬
Just came across to your channel today! Thanks for the idea of using ziplock bag for piping the grout cuz I always make a huge mess with just scraper (I’m totally IDY noob but still learning)
It looks beautiful! Don't worry about taking more time to finish a projrct...it's the end result that matters.
Awesome job Dalia. Always love to see what project is next. Such great ideas. Don't doubt yourself or your abilities. Looking forward to next video.
Thanks Linda!! 💞
Love it!! Looks so great!! Suggestion for you! Get an insulated cup and that way your tea stays warm! I had the same issue and switch to an insulated cup and it changed my life (dramatic) 🤣🤣
Dalia I love your videos. They are so therapeutic to watch. It helps me to hear someone talk about making mistakes and figuring things out as you go.. ❤❤❤
I love the Rock peel and stick. what a great idea. I think I will also put it in my kitchen. Can't wait to try it. And what a great idea to put them up with command strips,👍🏻. ❤️💯 I'm actually glad I watched this video you talked about procrastination and why sometimes you don't get things done when you know you need to. I thought I was the only one like this and sometimes I get depressed over it because I see so much stuff that I have to do and then I don't do it.. thank you for sharing 😊
I think you are doing amazingly your apartment is coming along nicely,💕
the kitchen looks that much more stunning with the backsplash going all the way up now! your keen eye and detail orientation makes it look like the stone was always meant to be there. congrats on finishing this project!
I love, love the look of the stone in your kitchen. I also love that you it is removable. I own my home so I could do whatever i want to my home but I don’t do huge projects, like this would be if it were real stone. It would also be permanent and I fear it would change my mind on it later in life and I would be stuck. With your tutorial, I could have the look for as long as I want.
Fire resistant does not mean fireproof. Stones are more fire proof. You could be totally fine and never have a problem. But if you ever have a stove fire, you will have a much higher chance of the tile catching on fire and then spreading much faster than if it was just stone and glass around the area of the fire. Of course you do you, I think it looks beautiful. I'd probably leave it up too. But I would sorely regret it if something went wrong! :)
Really been loving your videos. They seem more relaxed. Like that about them. Your project came out so nice. Thanks for sharing!!
That’s literally my favorite breakfast/sweet treat!
ALSO, I plan to do this to our kitchen as soon as spring rolls around!😍🥰
Love you channel and your calm vibe❤️
Thanks Courtney!! Going to get another cinnamon raisin toast now 🚶🏾♀️
Loveee Brene Brown, highly recommend Atlas of the heart
I hear ya! I have a whole office full of projects and I don’t get them done uuggg
Then I had a major surgery the day after Christmas and the healing Is Sooooo much slower Tahoe I anticipated sighhhhh 😞
It looks beautiful, that is actually the style we love and have in our home.💪😘
Love your kitchen
Fantastic very nice idea & work
What a big job; well done & lots of Patience!
I relate SO much to your reading experience. I hope we can learn and experience reading for pleasure!
I've decided, while watching your video @ 4:49 a.m. that I'm not going to go to bed tonight. Oh well. 🙃
You did a wonderful job just need a lot of patience and you get them in the end look forward to your next project S down from Florida have a nice day
Totally been wanting to use these for a project but they’ve been out of stock 😩😩 good to know they’ll be back soon!
Great job! Thank you for doing it, I just might do this in my kitchen!
Oh I just saw where you posted the panels would be available again in February! Amazing job!
I LOVE Brene Brown. She is s authentic!
I also love reading as a whole, but I hate reading for school. If I HAVE to do something, I immediately resist it. Reading for school takes all the joy out of reading.
100% agree! Also, so grateful that my sister recommended Brene Brown!
I hope trusting my gut produces these gorgeous results. STUNNING!!
Looks so good
I can't get the energy or motivation to do all the things I used to do since covid. Not sure why either. I can't stand it! I have joy! Just no energy or excitement about projects. It looks great. We can do this!
I love how real you are about your princess and life.
By the way, I love Brene Brown!
Great job. You give me inspiration
The kitchen looks great. Good job. God bless❤
Absolutely stunning...you rock girl congratulations 👏👏👏
I love this & wish I was able to that when we lived in our apartment. Unfortunately management would constantly make surprise visits and if anything like this was done (renter friendly or not) we'd get fined 😔.
Truly does look amazing!
Yesss cinnamon raisin. Soooo good
You should try heat compress on your eyes, it works really well
It came out beautiful! 😍
my therapist actually told me to read that book, and i’ve put it off for like a year. this inspired me to actually get it!
Highly recommend!!
I feel the same way I have new toilets in boxes, vanities, new faucets, just collecting dust
I love all your projects! What do you do when you move to another apartment? What would you do on tile and you don’t want to spend so much money on remodeling?
I've been interested in interior design for so long, but your videos have actually made me see how easy and accessible DIYing rental spaces is. I now have a whole new perspective on what I want in a rental because I have the confidence to make changes. Seriously! I appreciate how you tackle problems in a very realistic way. Just a gal changing her space the way she imagines it to be. I love it! Thank you :)
Ps. Congratulations on completing your project! We all know how important this project was for you ❤
It looks great!
you are my inspiration dalia
Omg MashaAllah! & did I just hear you both give each other salaams at the end of the call?!?! Omg can you pls tell us where you’re from?? Like can you do a short “get to know me tag”??
Dalia, I had no idea your Muslim as well. I always relate to you. Probably the most in the YT world. I have a very similar style to yours. I was looking at a very similar rock wall inspiration for my kitchen backsplash for a year now and when I saw your project it blew my mind because literally I felt like you read my mind lol. And my thought process was the same to lighten it up: I just havnt come around to it because my home has some more pressing projects at the time. Love watching you, I feel like we’re BFs lol. 😂
Love this!
Love it, ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️
This video was through and through me. Doubt. Second guessing. Uncertain if it'll come out good, although all my other projects that I've been unsure about came out well. Procrastinating. Thank you for making this.
Big fan since day 1 ❤️ btw are you planning on doing the kitchen cabinets too? Mine is similar to yours and I totally want them off. No clue where to start from… watched a lot of UA-cams but nothing that caught my interest. I’m really looking forward to seeing your next project and hoping it will be the kitchen cabinets 😊
awe thank you! I'm not going to do anything with the cabinets here but do you own your home? If you do, then you could paint them, or... lately I've been thinking if I owned this apartment I'd probably strip the cabinets (strip, sand blast, sand, etc.) and try to white wash/ stain / bleach them to look more like a white oak. There are some people on instagram who refinish furniture and they have some really good techniques for refinishing wood. I haven't seen anyone do this for kitchen cabinets but that's what I'd try to do haha.
@@DIYDalia yup I saw few but I really like your aesthetic and DIY style. It’s so therapeutic, realistic and of course budget friendly which inspires me to do more DIYs as it’s affordable. Bring it on more Dalia ❤️
Can you please make it a point to talk about what you are wearing and where you got it
My brain is Soo creative .much like yours is and I Get Inspired for so many things and plans (not to mention my ADHD where I get distracted easily If I don't stay focused) ..I Gather all the supplies over a period of time for most of these projects (like you) and Then I Get Overwhelmed kuz I Keep all these projects and ideas In my head that I Literally Freeze and can't Get unstuck...so someone told me that IF I wrote them down either diary or vision board style this would Help my brain Not get so overwhelmed and then at beginning of the week I take one of the many projects and Give myself a soft Goal to complete...I know this seems so basic ..But the benefits Of Keeping my brain from Getting overwhelmed with so many Projects and to-do lists and Then More inspiration and daily living tasks Truly Blocks up my brain and then I'm really stuck...honey I Hope this helps you as it's helped me..stay blessed 🥰👍
Love this for you! As I was reading your comment, I was like I bet writing it down would help and then read your sentence about writing it down. I 100% need to write more stuff down and perhaps even use some stickies around the apartment. Thanks for your comment 💞
@@DIYDalia the reason for writing it down Is you are Able to Mentally Take All that information stored in our brains ...this has helped me so much not get overwhelmed...and yes sticky notes is a brilliant idea too❣️
These are still not back in stock on Amazon, so disappointing. Bummer.
How many pvc tiles were used. They come in a pack of 10. So really how many pack did you end up ordering for the completed kitchen diy?
It was already beautiful but taking it to the top made it even more amazing! Love your videos every week ❤️
Btw: I do the same thing with brownies and I eat it with the same ice cream! What’s the odds? Lol it’s sooo good!
Thanks girl!!! Brownies and Oreo ice cream are just the best 💞
Looks great! Make a big difference actually. Any other plans for the kitchen?
thank you! I'm going to be adding pendant lights (I might make them myself - undecided) and I might change the main light.. and then I'll share an end to end transformation video :)
I love your night shirt. I have a similar one. Does yours have pockets too? BTW I absolutely enjoy your videos.
Kitchen looks amazing. This actually inspired my wife and I to do the same thing in our kitchen - can't send the imgur url here for some reason but would love to share it with you . Any advice on waterproofing / stainproofing the finish? It's a bit rough to the touch at the end.
I would like to know if she still has her marble kitchen flooring still holding up?
love from nigeria❤❤
I’ve read some Brene Brown which one are you listening to?
Hello, how many panels come in a pack?
YAYAYAYSYAYYYYYYAYYYYYYYYY
Ficou incrível
😍
obrigada! (did I get it right? haha) thank you!❤️
❤❤
You need your own house to remodel...............Good Luck.
I love the panels but in the link you posted Amazon says currently unavailable. So did you order yours some time ago?
I did order them a while ago. I reached out to the supplier and they said that the product should be back in end of Feb
It looks sooooo amazing 😍 I was wondering on that step where the tiles are already on the wall and you add the last step of joint compound to the borders and edges: Wouldn’t that get onto the wall? I’m asking cause I’m considering doing the same but I also live in a rental
thank you! it's a bit hard to tell but i actually taped down parchment paper before applying the joint compound there and then after a little bit i scored the edge and pulled the paper away (I showed that part a bit later in the video). so the compound isn't actually on the wall, it's kind of floating attached to the edge of the tile! ❤️
@@DIYDalia Brilliant move.
@@DIYDalia Hey yeah I saw it for the edges I was just wondering about the parts, where the pieces connect together for example in the middle :)
PS: Love your videos!
@@amateursontour507 ah! no it doesn't go on to the wall. the pieces are designed to overlap one another (if you make sure you cut them straight.. see my first video on this to see how as it isn't as intuitive as it seems) then they will overlap and the compound won't get on the wall.
@@DIYDalia Aaah gotchya :) Thank you so much for the reply!
she basically made a pizookie 😂
oh my god...the way I clocked the ADHD and then seconds later you referenced your ADHD... I feel seen. Anywho, new viewer who is about start a series of rental DIY's, really enjoying your channel.
היי היכן אוכל לקנות את הטפט ששמת על הקיר? אני מישראל רוצה לקנות אונליין
What kind of tea do you drink?
red rose orange pekoe tea - my favourite!
For the swollen eye every morning, you could see the doctor to check your kidneys out just to be completely sure it's nothing. Just saying. I'm a med student so what do I know? Lol
Your eyes look lovely
Thanks Esther! Hope you're doing well 💞
using heat on hair without combing is not good for your hair😟
oh I definitely brushed it! there are never any knots by the time I’m using heat 😄
