zelmar What did you end up doing for your range backsplash??

Hi zelmar!!

I recall you had an interesting idea for your range backsplash involving a warming shelf that you were planning on making/having made. Any updates/photos for us yet?

Thanks!

Hi bloomin, Alas, no progress. DH is going to make it out of wrought iron (hopefully complimenting the black of the range and counters.) We will have brackets on either side of the ss backsplash and the shelf will be removable off the brackets for cleaning. This and our light fixtures are the last things to be done...but it's the case of the cobbler's children. Since the kitchen is functioning well, DH is concentrating on the mudroom and laundry room, both of which have major issues. Thank you for remembering. I look forward to trying out our hood warming lights someday. hmmm....maybe I should start serving cold food. ...and eggshells in baked goods since one of the lights will go over the baking area.

Thanks, zelmar!

I know just what you mean about the cobbler. My DH has installed many kitchens for clients, but mine is taking seemingly forever to get done!

I like your idea for the warming shelf... I recall now that your DH is talented with wrought iron. Do you think there's any way for him to make the shelf lift up and out of the way? I know you said it will be removable, but to just tilt up (or down) would be cool sometimes.

Well, good luck with your current projects!

Do you like your beadboard backsplash?

Wow! Found this discussion a year after it was going on and it was very helpful! We're remodeling our kitchen now, it is small (8 X 10), I'm getting new cabs in "cinnamon spice", and a granite counter top that is a speckling of browns, tans, gold-ish colors with black specks (I have no idea what the call it). I have an exposed cement :( chimney stack that we have decided to tile over with sheets of 2 X 2 tumbled white/off white marble. I was really not sure on back splash and we were thinking tile - but I thought of bead board last night and think it will go really well if painted the "off white/pumpkin" Laura Ashley color I found.

Need help choosing range hood and where to end glass back splash
Q

It looks like the Imperial 42" is the favorite. It is funny that most of my "inspiration" pictures have a similarly shaped hood, since I saved those images in my "backsplash" folder to try to help my choose the BS height (i.e., I didn't intentionally choose those pictures for the hood). The voting for BS height is mixed, with the majority so far choosing the 8' height. The image above with the tall gray glass BS is from the Smallbones catalog -- I love that look -- makes me wish I could have gone "topless." I think I prefer the taller glass BS, but I'm not sure how to overcome the technical difficulties with the chinmey extending beyond the glass. The glass and wall above will be painted the same color so the line will not be a strong contrast like most of the images above, although the shine factor will obviously be very different.

Did anyone NOT do a special backsplash design over the range?
Q
Comments (71)
We are at the beginning of a remodel of a 1950 home so this site has quickly become like the big wing of a mother duck to me that I run to over and over when all these decisions make me dizzy. After looking at the brazillion photos of backsplashes, I agree with most of you about the simplicity being the better choice. But the reason i'm actually writing this first post here is just to say how refreshing it is to read your comments; after being on other blogs (like Apt. Therapy)where the people viciously attack each other, it is such a relief to get to know you all through your words that are complimentary and helpful at the same time! Classy is the word for you - thanks.

Subway tile backsplash - how did you terminate your tile?
Q
Comments (13)
I am going to take pictures and upload them later today - headed over there right now - but my builder is suggesting using the 3x6 bullnose on the long edge and running it perpendicular. I know that is how this is usually done in a bathroom but what about a backsplash? Our counters are L shaped with the fridge at one end so this is only an issue at one end (the open one). The other option would be to use another one of their options for trimming it out on the end, like a molding of some sort, but I don't know that they would have one that would work. Any thoughts? Do people usually just run one edge of perpendicular bullnose? I guess theoretically that could be cut down to a super skinny bullnose but that may look even worse. Or a pencil liner???? I am at a loss. Here is a link that might be useful: Cappricio trims and moldings
