VERY beautiful! Love the daisy noce along the bottom. Your color matches perfectly! Congratulations!

Love your backsplash.. I like how the grout contrasts and brings out the design.

Beautiful! Your backsplash looks made for your kitchen. Your cabinets are also really lovely.

This is really beautiful.

They look made for each other! What are the darker crackle tiles?

Super pretty- I love Grazia tiles:) Those look amazing!

Wow! The elusive perfect Backsplash! You did it! It's gorgeous and works so beautifully with your cabinets, floor and counter tops! Congratulations! You nailed it!

You did a great job picking those colors. It looks great.

Oooh - it's gorgeous! I love how it picks up the different splashes of color in your counter.

Good job!

I can see why you would be thrilled. Beautiful tile! The close-ups give an indication of how it must look in real life. Congratulations!

gorgeous!! it all looks so perfect together. you have a great eye!

Thank you everyone for your nice comments! We looked at a lot of tile before we found this - when I saw it I knew it was the one! I was originally thinking of using all noce, but decided it would be too dark and the crema also looked better with the cabinets.

williamsem - both tiles are Grazia Rixi, the darker color is noce and the lighter color is crema. I got them at Best Tile. (Link below.)

We haven't finished updating the kitchen (still working on lighting and will eventually get new appliances.) Here is a before photo with the '80s laminate counters, oak cabinets and 4"x4" white tile backsplash. (The drawers and faucet are missing because this photo was taken just before we had the counter replaced.) We didn't want to change the layout of the kitchen, so we refaced the cabinets in maple.

Here is a link that might be useful: Grazia Rixi at Best Tile.

You have done a wonderful job! Everything goes together so beautifully! I second modern mom--you do have a Great eye!

Very pretty! I love the area around the sink! Congrats!

It's really beautiful!! I love Rixi and it makes me happy when I see someone else use it! (My backsplash is Rixi agata). I love the combination of noce and crema...

So soft and beautiful! Enjoy our lovely kitchen!!

pretty!

Now that is one seriously nice backsplash. It coordinates perfectly with your countertops and the accent tiles make it extra special. Congratulations on a job well done.

That is stunning! I have agonized for weeks over a backsplash and finally ordered one today.. If I had seen this earlier I would have done exactly this. Your kitchen turned out beautiful.

That looks absolutely fabulous and the wood of your cabinets is gorgeous. Congrats!

Beautiful and timely also as I picked the same tile for my kitchen (the Rixi Crema), so nice to see it installed.

oops - where did you purchase your tile?

Gorgeous combination! Love the color with your countertop, beautiful.

Oh so lovely!! The perfect match for your silestone and cabs--congratulations!!

Your entire kitchen is beautiful.

And, you have a great eye for color/coordination!

Are those the same cabinets? They look new.

Congrats, it's very nice.

Beautiful tile job, beautiful kitchen!
I really like your use of the band of subway tile at the bottom of the backsplash.
It grounds the backsplash so well and makes a great transition
from the counter to the on-point tiles.
I'd be surprised if we didn't see some other GW kitchens in months ahead
copying this design.

Very beautiful! Congratulations and enjoy!!

Thanks again everyone! I'm so happy with how the backsplash ties the cabinets and counter together - it's hard to really know what something will look like from just a few sample tiles.

a2gemini- I got my tile from Best Tile. The link shows their locations - if you live on the east coast there may be one near you.

susied3 - We're happy - the old cabinets do look new. We had them refaced so the doors, drawers and hardware are new and the old cabinet boxes were covered with 1/4" thick maple stained to match the new doors.

Thanks - I am looking in the midwest but have been in touch with both coasts.

That is a great transformation. I like it a lot. It is very peaceful looking. You did a very nice job.

I'm only 3 months late to the party. What a beautiful kitchen! Counter and backsplash go together note for note. I see what a struggle that can be. You nailed it. Wood cabinet refacing is BEAUTIFUL and as a white appliance fan, I think yours looks spot on.

Thanks onedogedie! We're still especially happy with how the backsplash turned out. Actually the appliances are bisque, not white. We were planning to replace them with stainless, but decided that they match pretty well and work fine, so we're going to wait a while.

Juliet

Very Pretty - you did a great job matching everything and your tile looks so "right".

Juliet- what grout did you use- out BS is in and we used antique white with the Rixi crema.

a2gemini - We used Polyblend grout in Linen. We wanted a color that was a bit darker than the crema and lighter than the noce. I think your backsplash is beautiful - it really pulls together your granite and cabinet colors. You picked great accent tiles!

Thanks- I almost used the noce as accent but didn't work with the countertop. Love your kitchen - we must be GW sisters!

Now I can see the Bisque-iness in the pre-reno picture. In the afterward the appliance read white to me. Interesting! I really, really like your kitchen. Just thought I'd say that again while I'm here.
