Kitchen upgrades are some of the most exciting changes you can make to your home. Kitchens are where you spend time cooking, eating, and mingling with your favorite people, after all. Being able to show off a stylish design in the light-filled space with glossy surfaces and shining equipment is always a plus. And while transforming a kitchen is usually done through big, costly renovations, small upgrades can have just as much impact on the overall style.

Even though I'm not a renter anymore, I'm still always on the lookout for clever renter-friendly DIYs and upgrades - to share with readers, of course, but also because I don't necessarily want every change I make in my home to be permanent. Lately I've been thinking a lot about peel-and-stick backsplashes, and I keep coming back to this mini kitchen makeover's gorgeous checkerboard pattern made with Smart Tiles zellige peel-and-stick tile in orange and beige.
