Backsplash Choice ... Finally!

14 years ago

After many choices of glass and subway tile I finally made a decision. I'm going to go with this white/grey subway tile in the first picture with a glass border similar to the 2nd picture picture.

Backsplash finally

Malhgold - her name is Sophia Lezin, she was at the Rt 17 in Paramus store. What I loved about working with Sophia was that not only is she a delightful person, but she actually would give her opinions. I hated talking to other people who would be passive and say "if that's what you like....". There were two of us trying to pick something out, both with pretty strong opinions, and it was helpful to have a third voice to say "I don't think that would work..." when it really wouldn't and "what about this?..." when we were stuck or flailing.

Thanks everyone! I had my heart set on the $45 sq/ft rhomboid tile, but it wasn't happening. I should admit it, but I think the whole backsplash was less than $200!! plk75 - they are ceramic, not travertine. I was originally looking at travertine, then saw these at Lowe's. At .33 a tile, I couldn't resist!!! They are Del Conca Agora Almond. They had them in another color, a little darker but it was too grey for my space. They are thick and sturdy and were very easy to install.

thank you everyone for your opinions- it really helps! boxiebabe- you make me remember that there are so many colors of tantrum.....maybe I should look at one of the gold-ish ones. More choices... raehelen, they walls are actually green, though it is hard to see that in the pics. As for how to arrange the accents, I was planning on 4x4 tiles with randomly scattered glass tiles set on point. I considered subway-style tiles, but I think with the rectangles of the floor and the glass tiles being square, it might look funny. kristenfl- I'll post pics as you described tomorrow when there is light. Good idea! :)

Beautiful job!! I love your backsplash. I'm in the middle of a complete kitchen renovation and picked out the same faucet. Is that the "straight edge" or "pencil edge" on your granite? I am trying to decide which edging to use myself.

Congratulations! I know how much effort and thought you've put in and am happy for the relief of a big decision made. It'll look SO great. Can't wait to see. The garnet is, as much as I hate to use this term, yummy...and I love the way it'll connect with the inclusions in the granite.

thank you all! This was my most difficult decision. I made it a point today to find something I really liked, but stuck with the original garnet glass tile I liked. It just so happened I found a white/grey subway that worked really well. I'll be sure to post pictures once completed.
