We are re-doing our kitchen and we need some to cover the wall by the stove so that heat does not warp it, and things don't splash up on it. We are trying not to spend a whole lot of money on it. I've looked all over the internet and all I can find is fancy, expensive backsplashes, which I don't want.

There are several choices.
1. A sheet of stainless steel. Drill holes in corners and attach with a decorative topped screw.
2. A reverse painting (simple design) on the back of a sheet of glass - you could even use appliques (attach to wall and place glass on top). Same application, have holes drilled into corners for screws and attach.
Using tile does present a problem w/keeping grout clean. Be cautious using vinyl, especially tiles, the heat will soften the adhesive and the tiles will slide out of placement.
Good Luck!

If the wall is a painted one the simplest way is to clean it real good, buy what ever color of paint you want as long as its enamel and then add a one pint can of clear varnish to the paint. Stir it in real good and paint the wall. The varnish you added Willl harden the paint and grease splatters wil,l wash off easily.

How about a small section of ceramic tiles just above and behind the stove?

Get plain cheap tiles from Home Depot and paint them yourself and stick them on the wall

Well what I used to do is was just put up aluminum foil, then we got this really slick plastic stuff that looks like marble put up and it looks much better and still is clean...I can't remember how much it costs but it was not too expensive

Just stick a newspaper on the wall and when it gets dirty after a few days, just change it

I would say find one of your favorite paintings on the Internet, print it and then laminate it. Then stick it on the wall!

tiles are verry hard to clean, especialy with the grout in between

You could put up a piece of clear plexiglass. It's pretty cheap, clear, so you wont really notice it, and it cleans up easy.
