Granite or Tile Backsplash...Or Both??
Comments (11)I'd definately say no to the combo. I'd say either or. I do like the idea of having paint that I could change, and a lot of tiling can be too plain, or too busy, and also can be costly too. I guess I never posted my kitchen in the finished kitchen blog, but in my kitchen we did a 3 inch backsplash all around, liked it smaller than normal, but to be unique and to protect the area behind the sink, we have the granite swoop up to the window behind the sink, and a granite window ledge. Really protects it from splashes and adds interest. We also considered doing a piece behind the stove, but didn't. Just another option out there And no offense to Bill, I'm sure his work is great in them, but I dislike both the backsplashes. number 1 is too busy with the granite and not my taste. number 2 is too bland. I get sick of things too quickly....See MoreBathroom Tile, what do you think of accent tile
Comments (13)Hi beverly27, thanks, oh I like the accenting tile on the bench and the floor, we just demo'd the shower door and realize we have two lights in the bathroom and a window which makes it very light, so now we are thinking of a darker tile as a choice, but not sure if we should put the same tile on floor as the shower. we plan on an expresso black vanity with a white sink, the bathroom is so small that the vanity can only be 24 inches in width. will post photos in a new thread as well....See MoreGlass Tile Accent with Porcelain Subway Tiles?
Comments (21)So has anyone seen pictures of alternatives besides a entire row of an accent tile? We have a 15 foot run that is very horizontal in nature, and I'm not that fond of having yet another horizontal line. But I REALLY would like an accent of some sort besides what is going over the stovetop in the middle. I was at the tile store today, and 1 of the employees suggested randomly dropping a skinny row of mosiac between the subway tiles. We were looking at a noce 3x6, plus a polished scabos (matches granite well, and I don't like glass) mosiac. Interjecting the mosiac seems to really go against the spirit of doing a subway, but it could give an accent. So is this mission impossible, and I should look at a more conventional tile pattern? Any other ideas?...See MoreAccent tile with this tile?
Comments (0)I really like the look of this tile - large (less grout!), light gray color... I was planning to use this on the bathroom floor, shower wall and tub surround. Any suggestions for an accent tile? I like the minimalist, modern look so nothing too fussy. I was planning on it being all the same tile but my friend who just did a bathroom remodel thinks it will look too sterile with just one tile. http://www.homedepot.com/p/MS-International-Metro-Charcoal-12-in-x-24-in-Glazed-Porcelain-Floor-and-Wall-Tile-16-sq-ft-case-NMETCHA1224/203673203?N=5yc1vZb97mZ1z118bp...See Moresuzanne_sl
