Rooms < $1000: Boho kitchen
One big reason for wanting to buy my own home one day is tile. I know that sounds silly, but how amazing is patterned tile?! I love the way it looks on floors, in showers and especially as a kitchen backsplash. I found this 4″ X 4″ Mexican tile with little blue and white triangles on each one. There are so many arrangements that one can put them in to create all kinds of fun and funky patterns. I created a chevron pattern with my virtual backsplash as the jumping-off point for this boho kitchen. I’ve also included an outdoor rug (I use one under my dining table in my kitchen and it’s a fun way to add color and pattern to the floor without tiling, or worrying about an indoor carpet getting wet or food stuck in it.) Then I added some fun, colorful and whimsical accessories. (Don’t forget to paint or stain those wooden Ikea chairs–each one a different color perhaps?) Now just paint the walls an outlandish color–like yellow or green or even pink–and add some artwork from other rooms in your house. Add cutting boards, plants, plates, pots and pans to your walls and you’ll be ready to get cookin’–bohemian style.

Hey meligrosa, you can select what size rug, a smaller size is available for $149.
Justina do you have a link to the source of the image with the chevron kitchen splashback? Ta!
I love it, I think this is my favorite series in your blog, keep them coming!
@Meligrosa-the 3.5′ X 5.5′ is 150–the bigger the rugs are the more they cost–but the smaller sizes should fit nicely in a small kitchen!

Excellent ideas! Planning remodeling home or kitchen is quite expensive but good thing there is a store that offers stuff in a reasonable price.
I really would like to take note of this specific blog post, “Rooms < $1000: Boho kitchen | Justina Blakeney Est. 1979” on my own website. Would you care in the event I personallydo? Many thanks -Felipa
