HELP! Think I picked wrong pool tile and ledger combo
Comments (22)Hi Krista! Wow, it’s been so long since I shared this, I had forgotten about it. i decided against the concrete coping and went with stone. I selected the Pennsylvania stone and so happy i did! It looks gorgeous and blends in so well with my color scheme with its gray/blue color. I took the picture I posted above and enlarged it below so you can see the stone better. I hope this helps…would love to know your thoughts. Remember that concrete has a greater chance of cracking in time and I think the stone looks more elegant as well as being stronger....See MoreI don't think I'm happy with my backsplash :/
Comments (72)Have to agree with the above - it looks on my monitor that all of the backsplash tiles read green/blue and the countertop reads grey/brown and none of them seem to work together. The fireclay tiles posted by eam44 would look to be a much better match. I disagree above that you need some kind of focal point. I think it's a smallish kitchen and has lovely pendants, and windows and island and a bold backsplash is just competing with that. Keep it simple! In fact, i was the above writer who earlier said they pretty much always dislike the inset backsplash and i think your current BS is a perfect example of how those insets rarely look good. Even when the underlying colors are similar, as yours are, there's just something "off" about them. I think the only exception is when they are using almost the same tile (like, carerra subway tile BS with a carerra herringbone pattern inset). I still think this is busier than i like, but isn't an eyesore as so many other insets are. I think this inset mistake is actually a good opportunity to replace the whole thing!...See MoreI think I made the wrong choice
Comments (8)I agree - sometimes there is a shock affect when new paint goes up, but then as it sets, your eyes adjust. After you get the furniture in and wall hangings hung, along with any other lighting from lamps, etc., then you will be able to decide if it's what you truly like. If not, the great thing about paint is that it can be changed! I won't say it's easy to change, but it's not like a tile that has to be ripped out - paint just has to be covered up with more paint!! Good Luck!...See MorePlease help pick grout color for pool waterline tile
Comments (6)This can't be evaluated properly at a distance because there's no guaranty that anyone's monitor is going to reproduce true colors. You can only get estimates. I would go with grout that most closely matches the tile that's being grouted. With different tiles colors you have to pick your poison....See Morexnightowl
