Hi Resourceful..

I don't know if this is what you mean exactly, but here's what we did...

Mine goes just to the bottom of the cabinets, but I did have them tile the window sill...

I took the apron off, since, like yours, it seemed to be an afterthought and not an original piece of trim, which probably vanished in the '40's or so with the first kitchen remodel. If your sill is marble and not wood, I should think it would look even better with only tile and no wooden apron.

My window is relatively low to the counter, and I could fit one exact row of 3x6 subway tile underneath the sill. We really like the result.

Hope this pic helps a bit, I'm between computers and can't find one that's closer up at the moment:

Thanks for the links to how to upload photos..I'm not too excited about yet another subscription to use an external site for my photos just to do this..The "test" page brings up a "browse" box which I assumed allowed you to pull up your image, but when I actually went to post, only the URL box showed up. I'll have to look into this a little more to see if there is anyway to avoid using another service.

KitchenAddict & Circuspeanut - I Love your kitchens! KitchenAddict, if I ever get these posted, you'll see that we alomost have the same countertop, faucet, and all of us are even using white roller shades! (Tip- They can be hung backwords so you don't see the roll but the opening on the fastener is at the bottom so it could fall out easier. If you don't open and close it a lot, it's well worth it. I'm just super careful when I do it.
For me, it's just a quick fix until I figure out what I want to use but considering painting a cool pattern on mine once I get a little further along into the project. I'll share those too as this progresses.
Thanks for sharing the photos, they help a lot...Still hoping for more! Would love to see someone who has taken the tile all the way up around the sink window to help me decide.

IMO, a window apron looks out of place on a tiled backsplash.

Here's an example of a tile surround.

Photobucket is a free photo site, so it's just a matter of parking your pics there and bringing them from there (easy to do once you know how and instructions are in the Read Me thread) to here. You can easily get your pics to appear in your posts that way. If you want to keep your Photobucket account private except for the pics you choose to post here, that can easily be done, too.

There is no way to post your pics directly to this site. But using PB, you can insert the URL for your pics in the body of the text and they will display correctly. Or you can just attach the link to the end, but that will get you less traffic (and fewer responses) in my experience as lots of people find it inconvenient to click away from this site to look at other sites.

Believe me, I am a computer-moron and if I can do it, anybody can!

I went through the kitchen photos I have saved on my computer and found very few that had the tile go all the way up on the sink wall. Most are capped off somewhere in the middle of the wall, and most forgo the wooden apron in favor of tile. In your case, I don't think it would be too difficult to route or sand your existing apron to make it look more finished if you choose to go that route. In any case, here are some tile-to-the-ceiling pictures I found:

This one uses marble slabs instead of tile, but it's the same idea:

And here's one that uses a piece of the countertop material as the window apron around the sink area:

I realize that these pictures mostly use white or marble subway tiles, but that's only because that's what I personally like and am planning for my own remodel. I think it could look just as good with a bolder or more dramatic tile.

Another term for a splash that goes counter to ceiling is "eurosplash" and that's what I'm doing too, at least on the wall with my hood and windows.

Wow thank you so much for sharing those. I guess I'll have to break down and do the Photobucket thing so you all can see what I'm dealing with. White subway is what I am using too, so those are particularly helpful. Should be able to get them up tomorrow and anxious to see what other advice I can get once you can see it!

Ok, sorry but after reading the terms and conditions on Photobucket, I wasn't too excited about signing up just to post a photo here so I did post pics to another forum that I use that allows for direct upload...If anyone is interested, here is the link..you can click on thumbnail to see better....I have also posted a new message on this forum to deal with a new problem related to this tile job.(I titled it "How to end subway tile at window without using bullnose")
The tile I want to use from Lowes doesn't have tiles with a finished edge on the 3 or 6" side so I can't just end at window like I'd hoped and really don't want to frame out window so looking for photos of either people who have used the plastic edging around a window that Lowes does have, or maybe some other solution...Close ups would help a lot. Thanks!

Doesn't work. No one can view your images on that other forum, without themselves registering on that site. Which most won't do (me included). Also, questions get more answers here when there are images inline (appear in the post). If you want to get images in your post, you will have to find a way to get your images uploaded someplace.

Dan, do yourself a favor and start a new thread with a picture of the area you want to tile around. This thread is 7 years old and won't get many if any responses. And it certainly won't from just a description.
