Of course, a cute little planter would block some of the splashing and
possibly benefit from added moisture....how in the world does wife get
so much onto the window?


Well, I do a lot of the dishes, and use the squirt hose, which reflects
off to the back.

Dont use the hose. I took mine iut and put in something
useful....liquid hand soap dipenser..


Good idea.
If you splash water all over even a backsplash won't help.
What I'd do is just keep the water off the window.
And how I'd do that is with a portable backsplash kept under the sink
or off to the side, depending on how presentable you make it.
Could be s strip of plexiglas or a plastic cutting board, etc.
Glue some weather stripping or sponge on the bottom edge, and stick it
upright behind the faucets when you figure you'll be splashing water
on the window. Nice project, and an easy one.
