Hi friends! This DIY faux stone backsplash is EVERYTHING. Easily one of the best DIYs I’ve ever done. This diy backsplash adds character, texture and visual interest; it transforms the space to new levels of luxury; it is DREAMY and best of all… it is 100% fully removable and renter friendly!!! Wow. I am actually in disbelief at how good this diy kitchen backsplash turned out. It is even better than I could have imagined. It looks like the real deal and is honestly better than any other renter friendly solution I have EVER seen for a backsplash – easily 10x better than any peel and stick option that I’ve seen. This diy backsplash won’t damage drywall and is honestly just amazing. I am officially one step closer to fully transforming my diy dream rental apartment! My diy over-grouted stone backsplash is a vibe!! I hope you enjoy watching this process and I hope it inspires! ❤️💞

dang I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this … clicked the link and its out of stock 🙁
Hey Dalia! Not sure if you will see this but I went to buy the stone panels and they are out of stock indefinitely. Do you have any other recommendations?
This turned out great!
I love watching your videos! I too live in a rental and to make improvements can be so limited, your videos really help to create different ideas, so thank you for that. Now, I am wondering if you would have any type of ideas on how to improve old fashioned white tile countertops? I think it's really ugly and I would love to make them look better, I was thinking the Peel and Stick but afraid the shapes of the tiles would come through – any ideas would be appreciated! 🥰
How many tiles did you end up using?
I loved every minute of your videos of your countertops and your backslash!
Although I do have a question about the contact paper for your countertops!
How long do they last, like does the contact paper get wet and if it does, does it make the backing come up from the countertops or not?? Thanks! 😊
Great work, love it 😍
Where did you get the stone???
How did this stand up to the heat behind the stove?
This looks amazing! Thank you so much for all of the great videos! 🙂
The way he hypes you up, I love it! Came out beautiful and I plan on doing this on the wall behind my free standing tub. how many panels come in a pack?
You're so awesome!
Soooooo cool! I’m going to try it! It’s beautiful.
OMG I just love love your ideas! I wish you could come to my house and help me with EVERYTHING! lol we are remolding our 100+ year old house and boy o boy, it's been an amazing adventure! I am also a person who has had ADD for my entire life. As well as being dyslexic. I would love to find out what product that is you, what you used for the rock panels and where you got it. I also am going to try doing the marbling cabinet countertop that you have done in the past to our kitchen island countertop. You're amazing!
These are legit but it does make me smile because people were so eager to get rid of this type of wall surface in the 90s
Dalia you are like me…thirty years ago! I wish those products were available back then….I especially like your sweet husband and how he actively supports you! You GO girl!
FIRST VIDEO I've seen of yours…
Fully..All the way through….I was already subscribed but I must say..
IN LOVE!!!
& yeah I know you've already answered, & the answers are probably on IG..
How many panels, how many days/hours, & cost…
INEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!
I don't like you I LOVE YOU, You are smart & calm and I really enjoy watching you do the DIY's please keep em coming. And come on Command Strips sponsor her 😃🖐🏽
Dahlia, I enjoy your content🤗. Keep up the good work. Love this backsplash ❤️.
This looks sick! 🥰
That looks so amazing! I love it so much! I want to do it on my back splash. But I can't figure out how you got the perfect fit for those top little pieces that you had to fit in? Will this backsplash be washable?
This looks great. I'm going to try this….
Considering I'm the descendant of Irish stone masons, I Love stone!!!! You can't beat the look of classic natural stone, it'll win everyone over!! With that said, I'll likely skip this project but I'd like to possibly attempt your paneling video where you upgrade the kitchen bar wall. This involves buying from Amazon which I don't care to do, and seems to require more of a process, harsh chemicals, lots of prep work, it is worth the stunning beauty but I need something just as face lifting without requiring so much detailed work just on the items themselves, before they ever even see the wall. So I have other idea's for my backsplashes which I have multiple walls and thinking to mix it up between tiling & wall paper, but quality and not that junky peely nonsense. I give you accolades for originality & stunning taste, as well the ability to envision so artistically. You are immensely talented & have an eye for beauty & enhancement. ❤️🌹❤️ P.S. I'd LOVE to learn what music you used, specifically the tune as you applied parchment paper towards the end before revealing the end results?? I enjoy the music you put in here 🎶💗
I just found your channel and you’re so inspiring! I’m moving into an apartment soon and thanks to you, I have some DIYs to try out that are renter friendly!!! Thank you for all you do! 🫶🏽
Just adore your content!! I’m a creative as well, but you put me to shame.
Dalia! Question 😍 I love your work so I wanted to ask if you have any tips on putting/applying anything on a brick wall? We are renting and I don’t like how the brick looks 👀(outdoors)
wow this is fuckinnnn sooooooooo beautifull it s like real deamn gurl you fuckin smutch it
Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
Love it!
I love how you show a real diy process. These projects take a lot of time and problem solving
He’s so sweet. I’m feeling like shit today and binge watching your videos, which makes me feel a little better ❤
I like how you are so real with your mistakes and show us how you work through them. Stay true to being an amateur remodeler or the one that tries new things/hacks. – You inspire me 🙂 – Eileen
Just watched your video and did a fantastic job on your kitchen backsplash. You gave me an idea. Thank you.
Beautiful!!!
I've just discovered your channel. I'm really enjoying your content.
I just found your channel! And I LOVEEE it!
This looks more than amazing! The work is well worth it, making it look real is the key and you have conquered that It like oks totally like real stone!
Love your work♥️♥️
Beautiful! Thank you for videos!❤
Awesome work! Genius using command strips and the paper towel idea . Thank-you, for the tips and for sharing this idea.
It look awesome. I wish you would have use grout instead of drywall compound. The drywall compound will yellow badly in a few months. Where as the grout would have stayed white. Maybe if you put a matt finish on it, it will not yellow that I am unsure. The matt varnish also makes it washable. Great job! thanks for sharing.
Hi Dalia, I've been wanting to do something like that in my apartment, but didn't like the way the 3D panels looked. I also been in love with that stone wall style. Your idea to make it look so real is awesome! You're an inspiration, God bless. You're amazing!!! You're gifted.
I love your video alot❤
I found a picture on Instagram of a kitchen with what I believe is real stone walls in the kitchen and become obsessed to add that kind of warmth to my kitchen – but don't have the real stone budget. I searched and came across your youtube channel and this video and LOVE how you took the PVC panels and added the compound to make it look authentic and the added, "renter" friendly aspect. I don't rent, but I like that I could change it out by using the 3M method (3M? I think) Awesome, thanks for the tutorial!
Love that you gave us the heads up to line up all the panels together that will go next to each other on the wall and then cut the bottom so that you know they will align well on the wall! 😊
Very great idea for rental friendly, apartment when you want to make it your home.. Thanks I will be trying, next month I should be moving to Houston Texas to a brand new one bed apartment just for me at seventy-three years old,. 😂 Done with Louisiana after hurricane Laura hit, it will be a few more years for my city to back at my age, Noooo..
You rock! And your rock backsplash came out amazingly! You have inspired me. But I guess I can't put that above a stove on the wall? I wonder. I wish I could redo my kitchen so I need to get creative, because I don't have the budget for that. New subscriber.
❤❤❤
Great idea…again❣️🌟 Where did you find the panels? I would love to do this project. I live in Canada. Would very much appreciate your help. Thank you. Love your videos 🤗😍
