If you wish you lived in a cute beach cottage overlooking the ocean, I hear you! I'm so grateful to live here in Colorado near the Rocky Mountains, but even I wish I was at the beach some days. 

No matter where your home may be, your kitchen can go a long way towards helping you feel like you're relaxing near the sea. With that in mind, I pulled together some of my favorite coastal kitchen backsplash ideas:

1. Beachy Blue Decorative Tiles
