Aside from the fact that the 2015 T@G we bought this spring just had a stained wood "backsplash" that aesthetically wasn't the best, it also had several screw holes visible from where the previous owner (as well as me), rearranged the shelves/hooks. And there was a bit of damage from where I had used 3M mounting pads to attach a bamboo bin, that ended up being a little too close to the stove for comfort. So we decided to get some peel and stick backsplash from Lowe's.
Also visible in the picture are two LED light strips I mounted to the hatch after finishing the backsplash to give us more control of light brightness and color (hopefully fewer bugs).
I have since added a satin nickel door kick plate on the wall just behind the stove. It detracts from the look some, but I feel it was needed to provide protection from the stove heat (and any splattering bacon grease).
