Caulk or grout between granite counter and travertine backsplash?
Comments (3)I was hoping for some expert advice on this. I cross-posted this message in the kitchen forum as you know, sorry for that. I'm just so desperate for some good advice. I'm nervous about approaching this with him...any ideas on how to go about it? Also, did you see my question about the "grout removal tool" someone mentioned? What is that and how does it work? Also, have you ever worked with split face travertine? He used way too much grout on that and then left a lot of there to dry (so it is still there.) Looking like lovely grouty travertine....See MoreTIGHT Space for Mirrors (Between the Light Fixture and Backsplash) :(
Comments (7)Thanks for the kind words and mock ups!! There are two mirrors, actually with a brushed nickel frame (a little more plain than what you showed, but nice job Mrs. Shane!). I just held up one of the mirrors and I think I am fine with how it works with the fixture (doesn't really block it as the fixture has a slight curve)). I think the visual look I prefer is just above the backsplash & gaining as much room at the top. These lights have been problematic... they too were not centered (but thank goodness, my contractor owned that, so we shifted them to where they needed to be). Hoping to be done soon!...See MoreTIGHT Space for Mirrors (Between the Light Fixture and Backsplash) :(
Comments (14)Appreciate the feedback all. I generally like the look being balanced - however, I held the mirrors up & because they are large, I really did not like the look with splitting the difference -- felt too close to the top. I left a scant 1/2 inch at the bottom to give more space near the lighting and am very happy with the look. Take a peek. Thanks so much for your feedback!...See MoreSpace between counter and backsplash
Comments (2)They are not hand made. They are the Allen + Roth ceramic subway tiles. Here they are.... http://www.lowes.com/pd_464014-66607-CER3X6P___?Ntt=allen+and+roth+0464014&UserSearch=allen+and+roth+0464014&productId=4774675 And thank you willtv for your help!...See Moregreenhaven
