Opinion on Granite and backsplash help!!
Comments (38)thanks for all the opinions and ideas. I really appreciate. I think the first one would be great and add some warmth to a white palette. The only thing that is not perfect to me on that slab is the little bit of orange almost rusty looking spots. When fabricating we can get rid of the upper right corner but nothing else. This is the only slab left in that color, I am going to put a deposit on it and then see what comes in April. If the next pieces are cleaner and just as big maybe I will switch it....See MoreHelp!

Comments (7)Frankly, I like what they have proposed better than the original plan (assuming I understood it right...you wanted the curved end only on the short sidesplash and a straight end on the backsplash?) I think it looks symmetrical this way, as it's the open ends that have the curved piece...not one open end and one that deadends into the wall. So, if it were me...I'd take the credit (I assume you mean a discounted price...not a credit towards something else, which possibly you don't want or need?) and feel good about it. But, as they say, advice is only worth what you pay for it!...See Morekitchen island/breakfast bar backsplash - need your opinions!
Comments (3)I think it looks great. I like the use and placement of the 1 x 1 mosaic. If I was to see this in a kitchen, I would think it looks well thought out and cohesive. Hope you post more as the project progesses!...See MoreBacksplash color opinions. (Help get me out of ABB!) Pix heavy.
Comments (147)I am back, having gone into "radio silence" for a while to digest this, play with sample boards, and repair some other parts of my house. This thread is almost at 150 entries!! That is represents some extreme generosity of the GW community on my behalf! I am really humbled and honored. However, as a practical matter, the thread is out of room and I still haven't decided! I am going to start a new thread, and link to it in the next post of this thread. I will use the rest of this thread to get caught back up, to recapitulate the most promising ideas and show you what I have been up to! Catching up: OB2B (11/12@7:52). Oh, those are pretty. I wonder just how $pendy they are. Your photoshop job is so nice. Do you think it looks too busy, or is it small enough a pattern to become just a texture? BellaJ: the walls are SW 6676 Butterfield. If anyone is interested, here is how I arrived at that color. Interesting observation on the tile size. Hmmm, Complete Tile does offer all of their tile in 3x3... I continue to like your "diamonds with decos" concept, as you will see below. And thanks for the Houzz info and images. I also like that decorative band. Veevs, thanks for the vote. EAM: Re: kitchens from the 20's having plain walls/wild floors: Yes, you are correct. I had been made aware of that during a thread trying to choose my floor. Also, I have a book from 1935 called "C.B. Smith's Home Owner's Handbook" that I rely upon for some period-appropriate information, and that confirmed what you say. Also, here are a few good GW threads: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg1110391922585.html http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg1120450213517.html So, yes, I am committed to not having too wild a wall. (I originally was going to do a two-color hopscotch pattern! Fortunately, I got talked down from the ledge.) raee: I pretty much agree with you. I am fairly well resigned to painting the walls. And those tiles need to be warmer, I agree. EAM: Re: the hex mosaics. Oooh, pretty! I like that, although I am worried about the busy-ness. I am going to put that in my second-tier list of options.
