Show me your backsplash with dark stone counters
Comments (14)I have blue pearl granite with white 4" ceramic tile backsplash, with blue pearl accents (white cabinets, unstained oak floor). Love my BS. Easy to clean and love how it brightens up the kitchen against my navy walls....See MoreDesperately seeking backsplash help for light granite counter!
Comments (18)You ALL are totally awesome for helping (sorry if I sound like a teenager!) Great ideas and advice. You all are so right about the paint color--I can see it now. Thanks for taking the time to show me examples! (The existing paint is actually more of a gold- but looks yellow in certain spots and colors). I love those examples of the darker red backsplashes, boxerpups, with cabinets similar in color to mine. Red wouldn't match anything in my house, (I know you weren't suggesting that)but maybe a burgandy or maroon or rust would! Noobee- I can't get over how that darker backsplash you did (in the cut and paste you did over my kitchen photo) makes the cabinets and granite pop and ties it all together. I love it! I think that seems to be heading in the right direction--though perhaps the exact colors and pattern need tweaking. I love the look! Though there isn't any actual brown in the granite, some of the garnet does appear brown-here and there. Do you think I'd need to have gray in the backsplash to tie in with the granite if I went darker, with mixed colors, like that? Also, Noobee, how DID you do that cut and paste-is that a paint program that comes with windows or adobe photoshop by any chance? I'd love to try and play with that myself. I have been visiting a few tile shops, and even the salespeople there have been having a hard time finding the right solution for me. One lady who was working with me is even a trained interior designer. She was thinking darker would work, too, but was having a hard time finding just the right tile. So I really appreciate your suggestions....See MoreSubway tile backsplash with uba tuba granite
Comments (10)Danielle, Sorry I missed your question from last April. Tfox0208, the mosaic tiles were purchased through a local tile company who obtained them from a Midwest distributor called 21st Century Tile. The mosaic is called Shamrock Shake Multi. I have only seen it at one online website. The picture on the online site and the 21st Century is not a good representation of the tile. The Also the picture shows the tile with a tan colored grout. I used a very dark green grout with the mosaic and IMO it looks much better than tan. The tile itself is a mix of clear, frosted and textured glass as well as natural stone and stainless tiles. Here is a another full view shot of the tile The link below is an online site that has the tile. I know nothing about that online company. I paid less for the tile at my local tile store than the online price. Online source for the tile...See MoreEspresso colored kitchen cabinets with Uba Tuba granite
Comments (21)sorry to say i am not a fan of any of those granites, but if i had to pick one, i would pick the one without any red specks or red/pink/peach/gray undertones. i would get the one that read "earthy" the most...browns, creams, gold and some black, but not gray. i would do everything i could to go and pick out my own slab b/c i wouldn't want to be disappointed when it came to be installed. you are going to have a pre-conceived notion of what its going to look like and if it doesn't, you are not going to be happy. i know that's how i would feel. maybe if you don't need a full slab, you can use a remnant and it might fall into your budget..try anything to pick it out yourself, you will be much happier.. HTH :)...See Morelkremodel
