New Back Splash

Our kitchen has the same plain backsplash that was installed when the house was built over 30 years ago.    I have looked at new ones again and again and can't find one that looks like what I have in mind.
 I am thinking about making a framed back splash to attach to the existing one....am I crazy....maybe!

I am trying a smaller version of what I have in mind to see how I like it......

Could I     (well could H...LOL)    make a picture frame the size of each section of the backsplash  and make something similar to this....only on a larger scale?    Then just attach it to the existing back splash.....I'll run my idea  past H and see if he thinks I'm crazy!

H helped me pack away all the Christmas decor in the kitchen this morning.....thank you honey!   I have this section of the counter put back together.  
We are planning a few updates it the kitchen this year.    The range and hood vent are going to be replaced......

I can't wait to get a smooth top range again like the one we had in our previous home and I want a hood vent with better lighting for the stove.top.

I made a little toddy bar on the counter to enjoy on a cold night......

Here is the counter before Christmas...........................................................................and after

The upper oven went out during all the Christmas baking.    It's the original ovens and have been repaired at least once   so it's time for new ones.     We had to special order them and hopefully the new ovens will be in the 28th of January.   The self cleaning part went out several years ago and the timer hasn't worked since we moved. in.

 I am so excited!!!
