Help! Need opinions - Marble Backsplash cut wrong
Comments (8)mwrede: Did you make a decision and call them back the next day? I really hope not--it's too stressful to be rushed thinking this through! Let me first say that I've never done a remodel, and I tend to overthink things,even after I've made my decision. This is your personal space; it should look as close to your vision as possible. Your idea for the backsplash is better than their's--ditch the side pieces. Splashback isn't so great that they are needed. They really seem to me to be a waste of marble and $$. I wouldn't think mirrors all the way down would be the best look. The round mirrors will probably be too small for the large vanity, but I like the idea of mixing a round mirror over the shorter vanity and a rectangular over the longer one, but not splitting the longer into 3 pieces--too choppy, not as pleasing visually. (I don't know why, but picturing mirror/sconce/mirror/sconce/mirror makes me think of an old Italian style, maybe in a 70s Vegas hotel.) The photos show a sleeker, calmer bath taking shape--all those elements on the wall don't really fit that. (Oh, and yes--you must get some money cut off the bill. That's a given!)...See MoreCan someone help me with my kitchen backsplash, please!
Comments (3)A backsplash can be done at any point. Is there some reason besides being anxious to get it done that you can't wait the 4 weeks to get what you really love? In the scheme of things... I think a 4 week wait would be worth it to get something I had my heart set on. I know how hard it is when you're dying to see the finished product....See Morehelp me pick my backsplash tile -- down to 3
Comments (32)prill- so excited to see your posts on the tile. I was busy this weekend working on the house. Here's my thought....paint the cabinets first. This was key for me. The simply white is fairly true white, but not stark. The creme Rixi is really creamy and I don't think it would look good for a whole bunch of creamy subway with whiter cabinets. As someone else pointed out, my counter has minimal veining...it's more variations of grey with a touch of white and green. In the photos I originally took the stone had just been oiled (with the oil/bees wax mixture). It's been in a month and I haven't oiled since. It's faded to more natural state. That being said, I like the Rixi with more natural state of my stone. So, also take that it consideration. I say do what you love...the backsplash is relatively easily changed in 10 years if you decide your tired of it. I love color, so I'm not as fond of the creme/white backsplash. Good luck...by the way, if you are putting in Flourscent lighting or your kitchen gets northern/eastern light, the Reef gets pretty blue. Mine gets a south/west natural light and Flourscent with the under cabinets....See MoreSomeone please tell me this backsplash is okay!
Comments (51)Thanks, M V! This is the tile I used--from a local vendor, but I'm 95% sure this is the same stuff: Vetro Glass Tile, Winter Taupe, 2"x12" https://www.tilesdirect.net/categories/eleganza/glass-vetro/winter-taupe...See Morecatbuilder
