One type of work I find really fun is painting outlet covers to match the backsplash tile.Its really satisfying to see how much I can get the outlets and switches to blend in.
Is it durable? Heck yea, with the proper priming and a kitchen quality varnish, they can be cleaned right along with the tile and hold up to hands and objects being plugged in.
I have lots more of these types of photos but posted the ones that were the most challenging.
