I am beginning a refresh of my kitchen and have no idea what to do with the large area over my kitchen sink. A painted orange crate label currently fills the space.
You could put a poster in a new or recycled window frame. In the spring is when Habitat for Humanity Restore Stores usually begin to have more of them (remodeling season)
When I bought my first house, my mom told me that you are supposed to have a mirror above the kitchen sink. I thought that was silly, but I did it and I loved it. It's nice to be able to see the people you are talking to behind you while you are working at the sink.
Kathi Steele and jslazart - mirror is something I would never have thought of but the reasoning behind it makes total sense! Would also suggest taking the tile backsplash up the wall and perhaps capping it with a tile border at top of cabinet level. Good luck!
I am beginning a refresh so I will not be installing new kitchen cabinets; however, I will be getting new door and drawer fronts and having the existing cabinets painted.
