The little backsplash is brilliant. Nothing more annoying than knocking something like your glasses off next to the wall in your sleep and having to try to find them in the dark or when half asleep.
I REALLY like this. I love it's visual simplicity, yet the more you look at it, the more detail that you find. As others have said, I'd love to see more pictures of it, and to learn more of the details of how you built it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful project.
