For A Unique Backsplash

Embossed metal ceiling panels are perfect for this application.
Sturdy but thin, and fireproof, pressed metal takes to different finish options—and patterns reflect many styles and eras. The cost is relatively inexpensive and it’s a DIY project. “We’ve sold our metal for a bazillion backsplashes over the years,” says Mark Quitno of W.F. Norman, a Missouri company founded in 1898. “We can stamp panels out of galvanized steel by special order,” Quitno says, “but 99% of customers buy the standard tinplate metal, even for wet areas. You just have to install it and finish in properly.”

a farmhouse called HANFORD CASTLE
Back in 1890, clean air and simple living were the goals of Edwin and Carrie Hanford and their five children, who'd left crowded Chicago for Oakesdale, a small farming community in the heart of eastern Washington's Palouse countryside. Here amidst softly rolling hills covered by wheat fields, they created a 230-acre farm to grow apples, pears, and plums. In 1896, they built a Victorian “castle” on a promontory overlooking the property. The Hanford family descendants continued to live here for the next century. Terri Gravelle and Paul Matthews purchased it in 1989.
