The Look for Less: Kitchen and Bath Bargains

A perfect patina on a tin backsplash adds loads of character to a kitchen, but that look can take decades to achieve and finding one for a remodel is a pricey proposition. Opt instead for ACP's Fasade, which is made of a composite thermoplastic and goes for $4 per square foot. (Real tin is at least double that and often more.) The backsplash, which was actually introduced for the first time at last year's show, has a faux patina right out of the box so no one will be the wiser.
