Kitchen Remodel! IKEA Cabinets and NO Uppers?

Please comment on styles of backsplash we should do, just don't say simple white subway tile. There will be more videos to come with all the finishes. As mentioned we are still missing toe kicks, our pendent lights, floating shelves, chandelier, and a new table.
We did end up going with a IKEA kitchen cabinets. I like how they turned out. The total cost for the cabinets was $7,000. That was for 19 cabinets total (it does include the (2) 90 inch pantry cabinets as well). The exterior cabinets are Bobdyn Gray and the Island are Bobdyn White.
We installed quartz counter tops. We had 85 sq. ft ( which does include our 6' x 5 ' island)

Shaping up nicely. What a project. The water over the stove is a neat idea. I couldn't believe I saw you outside working yesterday [Dec. 26]. You are obviously highly motivated to finish ... or you have lost your mind. LOL

[@-DIYPRO-]

I lost my mind a while ago when we started, haha! Can't stop now, I'm on a roll!

[@jackcorbridge4779]

@@-DIYPRO- Mind lost or not ... one truth stands out ... you Steph and the entire family have much to be proud of. Your family dedication and work ethics are amazing.

[@FunnyLookinHat]

This looks great! Any regrets on storing bowls / plates / cups in under-counter drawer cabinets? Or any tips?

[@-DIYPRO-]

I'm pretty tall and it took me a little getting used to but now I'm, my wife and kids loved it from the start.

[@damonunderwood813]

1 hell of a covid-19 project 😎

[@-DIYPRO-]

Yes, I was very busy during 2020!

[@bmbc6391]

Awesome job! What company did you get the counter tops from?

[@-DIYPRO-]

In the description! We did get them from a local supplier but the brand is Pental. Depending on where you are at you can probably ask them what brands they sell. The good thing with quartz is they have so many color and style options you can usually find something similar in any brand.

[@KB3M]

What's the distance between the island and the fridge on one side and the stove on the other. Some say 36" others 42" is good.

[@-DIYPRO-]

We did 42". If you have room I'd highly suggest going with that. We wanted enough room to move by with the doors open on the range, dishwasher, and fridge.

[@veroandariega]

Love it! What did you use to mount the microwave?

[@-DIYPRO-]

You can buy microwaves that are to be wall mounted, those come with a bracket.
