Does anyone remember the metal initial in backsplash?

13 years ago

Someone last year had a metal trivet/medallion with their initial in it incorporated into their backsplash. Does anyone remember who that was? I really liked that and would like to do it myself.

Thanks!

I don't know if it's the one you're thinking about (no initial) but Allison0704 has a medallion behind her cooktop. (I hope she doesn't mind me posting a link.) Hers is the kitchen with the beautiful French blue island.

Here is a link that might be useful: Allison's kitchen with the medallion

I don't remember the post but I remember looking up the site. The tiles are marble and they have several styles.

ksoxgrl - So sorry I'm a bit behind. Was not in yesterday, but here are some answers to your questions that hopefully will help! I puchased them from Magnolia Brick Pavers in Prairieville La. They were $1.89 per sq foot (the color I chose is Savannah they have several gorgeous colors) with shipping it came to $3.15 per square foot (if you can ship to a commercial address the shipping cost is less). They are VERY easy to maintain and clean. We applied one coat of sealer from Sherman Williams($4 a can) before they were installed and another afterwards. Water and everything beads up on them and if needed I wipe with a damp cloth. The grout color I will have to double check but I took a couple of pavers to the tile store and had them help me match it. It is sort of a greyish taupe. Let me know if you need anything further!

Sorry it took so long to check back in on my question, but we were out of town for the wine fest all weekend.(Our DIY would be moving much quicker if we could just stay in town) Thanks to everyone for the responses. Suzieca, gorgeous backsplashes in your link. The bamboo belongs in my future master bath - after DH recovers from current reno. Cate, you were right it was your thread. The khaki red was what he was thinking of, but mauve wouldn't work for me. If you still have the sample, I'd be happy to pay shipping just to exclude it from contention.

Jaynes123 "Until GW, I wasnt even aware kitchens had BSs," Same here. The only backsplashes I saw in newly remodeled kitchens were the same granite as that on the counters. Then I see all the posts about backsplashes here in GW and folks asking again and again what kind of backsplash should I get, or does this or that look good for a backsplash. I asked my wife, "What the heck is going on in GardenWeb and all this "Backsplash thing". She says "Some tile sales folks are hanging around and all they gotta do is convince a person or two and the rest follow. That was probably close to 10 years ago now. We see it over and over again, first White kitchens, Now gray. Now everybody must have an Island~~~~and on and On it goes~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I guess if you are a "Follower Type", all is well and good. But I've always done my own thing and will continue to do so. I will say that one place GW was a lotta help and Yea I did follow, was with Induction, Luv it!!!!~~~the other "Stuff", not so much ~~but ~~~~~that's just this old guys opinion, not necessarily right or wrong!

Sharon kindly responded to my email request for information regarding her backsplash. I hope she won't mind if I share the information she provided. Sharon wrote, "My back splash tiles measure 5/8 x 5/16. I had a hard time measuring them, as they are quite small. I bought them at a granite/marble yard in Santa Monica, CA. I went there only one time, rode with my KD, and never went back. So, I don't even remember the name of the place. I looked this up on the internet, and I think it must have been on Lincoln St, as I see two places there. But, I can't tell you which one it was.." It's a lovely backsplash that complements the granite and doesn't fight with it; it's simple in design, but has lots of texture and interest; and something I don't think I would tire of. I've been without a backsplash for two years and hopefully I can find something that I like as much as I love Sharon's. Thank you again Sharon.

OK - I have been wracking my brain trying to think of "something" to do behind my range. I'm getting a range with micro above, so there's not tons of room, and I wanted something a little different.

Just curious: what are your opinions on using a monogram like this. I think I really like it. We'll be here a while, so re-sale isn't really a big concern, but do you think someone would come in and be totally turned-off by an initial that's not their's? Is it something that can be easily changed out? The monograms look sort of fancy, but for some reason I feel like it would go in my very not-fancy kitchen. Thoughts? Thanks - SQ
