New Countertop

Latest project was to replace the (non-original) formica countertop with a stainless one. Started with a commercial grade stainless kitchen prep table: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Then had it waterjet cut to size and added a sink cutout.
Final product was installed over 3/4" plywood.

Backsplash added

This was installed using stick-on stainless steel subway tiles. Very pleased with the results.

Nice!

Are they individual tiles or a sheet?

Was there any covering on the wall behind or did you remove it?

Lastly, where did you purchase them?

Ok, I answered two of my questions. They are available in sheet form from Lowes and HD.

So my only remaining question is did you have a covering on the wall that you had to remove?

Bought them from Amazon, but like you said they are also available at Big Box stores. They come on a sheet but can be cut apart as needed. I attached them directly over the Zolatoned aluminum wall (visible in earlier Countertop pic).

All I did to that light was swap the bulb for LED.
