Designer Becki Owens transformed this formerly dark Tuscan kitchen into an inviting, coastal heart of the home. Calcutta marble is used for the countertops and backsplash, and the once brown cabinets are painted bright white, bringing a fresh new look to the space.

Seashells collected during the homeowner’s family trips to the ocean were the perfect choice to create a personalized backsplash in a vacation home. Designer Kelli Kaufer of Kelli Kaufer Designs attached the seashells to the wall with an all-in-one sanded grout, available at any hardware store. No additional grouting required! “Apply a clear sealer once it’s dry to make the backsplash easier to clean later,” says Kaufer.
