Help with backsplash and Bianco Antico
Comments (10)I have bianco antico, white perimeter cabinets and a walnut island. I went with your basic white subway tile and I love it. I do love Beekeeper's tile, too, but I ended up keeping it very simple. I think the white could offer enough of a contrast with the cream color it sounds like you have. Otherwise, you could perhaps find a creamy color subway tile. Here is one picture and I've linked to my post with LOTS of pictures below. Have fun tomorrow!

Comments (7)It would really help to see a pic of your kitchen or at least the layout. Depending on the size and the space requiring the backsplash, different sizes of field tile could be used. So, lets assume average size. You can do a subway glass tile in an oversized rectangular shape (let's say 4x8). If you want to add mosaics, you can do a single row, then maybe a 3" strip of mosaics, then the rest in the field tile with a broken joint pattern. Here's one suggestion for field color: I like the taupe or buffett gray depending on your slab. Then you can do a mosaic inset of your liking. Another different idea would be to do a "safe" color but in an interesting way. Choose something with somehttp://www.interstyle.ca/img/products/glass/mosaics/icestix/icestixcolors.jpg variation in sheen, texture, color saturation to bring it more interest without competing with the granite. Like this? The rumble color looks kinda nice. Install either horizontally or vertically for even more "funk"....See MoreBianco Antico with Stainless backsplash
Comments (4)Your counters and bs are lovely! I can see why you don't want them covered by anything... I find our sons and my dh are oblivious and think they can just drop their stuff everywhere. It is an uphill battle. It does not help that I work on the weekend and they are home or running in and out. It doesn't take a CSI tech to figure out everything they did all day, lol... I will work on housebreaking them all until it sticks. I bet if a few things go missing, they may be more careful where they dump their possessions ;)....See MoreBacksplash input for Bianco Antico!!
Comments (10)You cannot match the color flexibIlity of choosing a manmade bacjsplash (ex. Ceramic) over the inflexibility of natural stone (marble). Even if you see a sample of the thassos, the lots vary considerably. I went with a handmade ceramic with grey undertones which looks more interesting and varied than regular ceramic, but goes with my BA really well. Lots of people thought it was natural stone at first! Here is a link that might be useful: My Reno Blog...See Moreukalison
