Yet another BS question! PICS!

13 years ago

I searched and didn't really find a thread discussing this, so please give me your input.

I need to order my backsplash tile this week. I went to order yesterday but then ????.

Ok, I know tile the back of the wall. And I'm stopping at end of counter on far right with a SS strip. Tiling to end of wall on far left with an SS strip at end of wall.(2nd pic) (Then starts the bar top-oops not fully in shot) Anyways, what about dead end walls. One in 1st pic (if you look through the ladder) and the one on the left(2nd pic)

There is a piece of my countertop laying by the fridge built in and the tile is the one on the bottom left. That is the paint color in the back of the fridge cab. See the end of that run through the ladder? Tile or no?

{{gwi:1429531}}

Here you can see the left end and a bit of the right. Tile or no? If tile. Stop at edge of counter with SS strip and cap with strip?)

Usually, when one asks a bs question, they receive a bs answer.

about your BS: keep it all on one wall. Let the return wall be painted.

Yet another squash question - pics
Q
Comments (16)
Last year I mixed up plants when transplanting. I ended up with a spaghetii squash in a spot with too little room. I ended up using one of those flimsy wire tomato cages. As the plant got bigger and set several fruit, the cage wasn't up to the task. But your wire fence looks much sturdier. If you are worried you may be able to rig up some method of tying the squash to the fence. Others could probably post ideas they've had direct experience with.

Thanks everyone for all your ideas and the links. I'm happy to hear the descriptive words of..."organic", "earthy", "simple craftsman line". Those are the looks I am aiming for so guess I have suceeded. With this in mind I think the natural tumbled stone and metal would be the look. I love mosaics but since I am doing the installation I think they might be more difficult to do than a rough edged natural stone like tumbled marble. Anyone that has done this please correct me if I'm wrong. edlakin: Those Motawi tiles have wonderful earthy colors love them. I have to remember them for when we do the MA bath. I found these pieces at Lowes. What do you think about this color range? Should I look for some darker tiles to mix in? This Bronze tile is nice. It has some black highlights in it. I was thinking maybe I have too much Bronze in the kitchen, hardware, faucets and probably light fixtures will be ORB too. I thought some black would be nice. There are so many possibilities. amcofar: That's a great site. Can't wait to play around with it.

Makes sense. That being the case, is it safe to assume the one who quoted the lesser amount of fabric failed to adjust for that, and therefore is probably not as qualified? If they're all quoting based on the same pictures, i'd expect variations in the labor charge, but not the material requirement.

cindaintx, Wow, thanks for noticing the windows. Quite a lot of thought needs to go into these things, doesn't it? We brought home a couple of tile boards, and think a 3X6 tile would fit there. Maybe a 1/4 round on top?? It will be a few months before we do anything. We really like the look of NO BS, and since we don't actually live at this home, we can be careful not to get the walls dirty. We'll see, and I'll be sure to post, when anything else happens! Window treatments are next! Probably just horizonal mini-blinds. Can't put a valance on that window because the corner cabinet almost meets the frame! Peach, I'm still liking that dark brown for the bottom row. It's not too "dated"? Thanks, ALL, for the kind comments. I posted on HGTV (rate my space" once, and got VERY critical remarks. Won't go back there! LOL

I would also just tile the back walls and paint the return walls. If you tile the returns then you have to figure out whether or not to tile to the end of the counter, to the base of the uppers or to the end of the wall. Justs gets messy. Btw, your cabinets, tile and stone are beautiful.

What type of wood is your counter top. I have been searching high and low for a inexpensive wood for our counter top that has a variance in color like your sample.

Any information would be very much appreciated.

Well, it's not wood. It actually sandstone-Marcella Ozark Mountain Gold. It is from a local quarry here in NE AR.

There was a very active discussion about the pros/cons of using this several months ago(Think it fell off already). We absolutely love the look and (I) will just have to be diligent.

This sample is tame looking. My slab in front of the fireplace was set yesterday. BEAUTIFUL! I need to go out and take a pic to post.
