PLEASE help me locate this backsplash

13 years ago

Hi, This is my first post here. I have gained so much great advice on my kitchen remodel from reading these forums. I have one aspect left to my kitchen remodel and that is backsplash. I could not find what I wanted. Well, I was at our timeshare and they have exactly what I envisioned. Please help me - I have no idea what this is even called or where to begin looking. Thanks!

Not quite sure how to post pictures yet - so hopefully the link below will work.

Here is a link that might be useful: backsplash

I was able to view it, because I have a FB account -- however, others without FB won't be able to view it.

Looks like it's a mini brick -- is each brick about 1 x 3?

To allow others to view, you need to get an account on a photo site, like Picasa or Photobucket. Upload it onto that site, then click "share", then copy and paste the HTML code for sharing the photo into the message that you've started. That way people can see it so that even those without FB accounts can view it. Resize it to a Large size, or else it will stretch out the message across the screen when people go to read it.

It looks like a 1x3 slate to me. I know Lowes/HD carries a 1x1 slate... you might try a big box store or a store like Floor and Decor. If not, just google 1x3 slate backsplash and see what hits you get.

Joaniepoanie: I like your idea of pulling out the gray. The Meram blanc has a lot of gray streaks but very light. That's why I liked it. I need to check out some grayish tile this week. Sixtyohno: thanks for the suggestion. I just can't seem to find the right tile...at least not yet! I'm sure with some help from all of you experts, I'll have a backsplash before too long :). If anyone has a great idea for tile, I'm open for more suggestions! They're coming to demo tomorrow....I'm excited but nervous! Here is a link that might be useful: Grayish tile- Meram amalfi

I really do like that glass, I have to say. You'd have to be careful how you lay it out, so that the light blue doesnt get lost in the paint color, but I think it is do-able. The slate that your hubbie picked out looks nice, too. In the photo without a flash (assuming that the colors are accurate) the tans of the slate really pick up some of the accent colors of the counter. At least in the photo, I like it better than the ostrich, and I may have to nix my previous comment about the "yellowness" of the slate. But I really like that glass.....

Mountain pearl or Santa cattier ( hard to read) on the paint cards : nice for cabinets as they are slightly invigorating with the drab counter tone but not too much Either. They provide some life. The bigger green swatches under your hand are green . Not good: the tone is awkward w the counter. I’d get a tile something like those lighter paint colors which I think should be your cabinet color. The grout could be a little dusky like the counter. You can insert a darker tile w something going w it behind the range If you want but I don’t see it . The counter has such a meandering feel to it: nothing more needed . Statement made. more important might be the floor in all this.

It's quartzite. You'll most likely have to go to a high end showroom to find it. It's not a very common item.

Thanks for all of the help. I should have known it would be something "high-end". My husband will be thrilled to hear that we will just keep going higher and higher over budget! :-)
