kksmama - you can see the finished kitchen post with my backsplash. I linked to it below. I probably should have been ABB longer because my first attempt was a disaster and I decided to pay to have it ripped out and replaced with something completely different. And even the new one, I assumed that the tiles would be spaced further apart with more prominent grout lines but found out too late I was wrong. tbo123 - cabinets were sprayed. I tried measuring the stiles and rails - they seem to be 2 5/16" wide. Here is a link that might be useful: final reveal thread

I'm slightly biased but I love the F & I backsplash. Love your cabinets with the sleek, long pulls. Floor is just right with your black granite and ss appliances and even with the gray in the F & I. Can't wait to install my F & I. I keep looking at the tiles in their boxes. Hopefully, mine will be done before summer. Your kitchen turned out very nice, indeed. Well done!!

oh, momo...now I have google ann sacks and found those tiles...I JUST LOVE THEM. $83 per square foot, eh? Ay yi yi! I also found other tiles there that I love. Part of me almost wants to go nuts and ethnic and busy, since the rest of my kitchen is so simple. I am just afraid I will tire of it. Like this... (not this exactly, I just mean a busy, ethnic pattern. Kind of looks 70s to me, also.) cherry-Yes, we addressed the torso issue already! Yet another reason I want the mirror antiqued, and also not flat panes but rather tiles, so the "cuts" will break up the view a bit! I know what you mean, some of these threads get so long and I want to give my 2 cents but I just *know* one of my comments has probably already been made, but I say it anyway. Thanks for the input. You are not the only one with the opinion that with so much stainless and "coolness" I should go with warmth/color/texture. The things is...I see so many finished white kitchens similar to mine that have white tile as a BS, and I like them. I also like those pics that momo posted in her link, and they are white, with SS appliances, and mirrored BS and I think they look good. Well, I am torn and DH really wants me to make a decision so he can install. He wants the tile/color/texture look. I will keep you guys updated! Thanks so much!

It's such a big, pleasant space! I love your granite choice. And that area, would you call it a butler's pantry, it looks very handy. Did you "steal" it from another part of the house? I love how it turned out and I love your red accent pieces. Wonderful job!

I just love the changes you made making your kitchen a work of art and just stunning! I love your cherry kitchen cabinets and your new granite. I also love your floors? What wood species and stain do you have on your floors and is a gloss, semi-glass or satin finish?

What a gigantic kitchen! How lucky you are. I like the detail of the legs on the bookshelf and at first, I thought I was seeing some sort of reflection behind it, but it must be another entire area. Your space goes on and on. It's a really beautiful kitchen, and I know you must be thrilled with the transformation.

Very pretty. I'd love to see more pictures of the area beside the stove and the butler's pantry. Can't quite figure the floor plan out.

hi bethesdamom2008 ~
May I archive your kitchen in the Finished Kitchens Blog? If so please submit the FKB Category Checklist so I can categorize your kitchen. We can update it when your backsplash is finished. :-)
Thank you!

bethesdamom: I so love your kitchen! I wanted to ask where you got your granite. We, too, are in Bethesda and are having trouble finding a particular granite which may no longer be available. Your verde jade looks to be a cousin to what we're searching for. You can contact me through my home page if that's easier for you. Thank you. Lisa

I love it! Every single thing is beautiful. Have you thought about adding a touch of red in your backsplash? Those Le Creuset red pots looks fantastic with the cabinets and countertops.

Enjoy that beautiful kitchen!
