Anyone care to comment? Would this look "cheap"? The wall above our
kitchen backsplash is a bit uneven, would this vinyl look "ok"?

Any other tips / advice / comments or suggestions?

:
The vinyl tile would look okay.. I did it.. I have a pic I can send you..
however I learned one thing.. the tiles will slide down the wall
eventually..so what I should have done was put a vinyl tile adhesive on
the wall.. let the adhesive dry until it is tacky.. and then put the tiles
on. I did that in my foyer over a waxed vinyl floor and the tiles never
moved. Also.. you should caulk the seams, looks like grout.
