I need ideas for backsplash. I thought about beadboard, but I'm afraid it would hold moisture. I'm thinking tile, since we have a oatmeal colored corian countertop. Our house is rustic/ country as we own a log cabin. Any ideas are appreciated!

We went with a glass subway tile in gray, green and light gray- it was a pattern from Home Depot. Very cost effective and keeps my walls clean! I can use Windex or Lysol on it. The installer said "why would you need this all the way up to the ceiling over the stove"? And I asked him "do you can???"
Glass tile beat out stone (we had had both shiny and unpolished travertine before), granite and porcelain for prettiness and durability. The only thing we did was have our installer cut up the pre-made patterns to make the large area look more random. I am not a pattern person. FWIW hope this helps.

I just had tile put in as a backsplash. It goes around the counter between the counter and cupboards. Then, it goes behind the cooking area from the upper cupboards down to the floor. I used white so that I could paint the kitchen any color down the road. I love tile because I can clean it so easily. Tile has been used in kitchens for I guess over a hundred years. It is not something you would have found in a log cabin, though. Just the same, they would have used it if they could afford it. You can always use a color that suits the cabin. Probably not white, but maybe pine green or gray.
