The wall over the sink in the most used downstairs bathroom was always getting splattered. So we decided a backsplash would solve all the problems, but when I priced them they were going to cost more than I could spend so I went on Youtube to see if I could find a DIY alternative that was within the family budget and I found this terrific backsplash made from gemstones I could buy at The Dollar Store. I was so excited, I showed my husband and he loved the idea and he immediately flew over to Home Depot to get the grout and caulk and I ran over to The Dollar Store to get a few bags of the gemstones and we met back up at the house and we were good to go.
