Ukiyo-e and a back splash...

Hi everyone! Hope you had a relaxing weekend. Like most everyone else, I'll be running to work in a short while....But before I go, here's a little something to keep you inspired for the week to come:

Does this back splash remind you of anything? 


After much searching, found the picture which I believe this blue & green back splash was inspired by:

It reminded me of the Japanese art called Ukiyo-e, which means "floating landscape" in Japanese. The one above was painted by Utagawa Hiroshige from the 19th century. Would very much love to have such art anywhere in my home!

Find the kitchen here, and more about ukiyo-e here.



Have a great start to your week!
