Tile Backsplash WITH 4' granite
Comments (2)Look in the Finished Kitchens Blog for the Finished Backsplash Slideshow. You will see some there, #6, #10, #43, 49, #89... Check out the "Read Me if You're New to GW Kitchens!" thread. I just bumped it to page 1 again. It will give you information like how to find the Finished Kitchens Blog.

Comments (13)mycatz-- We bought a wet saw. I just taught myself how. I have already done 3000 sq. ft of hardwoods and plenty of finish work on this house so figured I can do tile as well. Its a long story but we have an absentee builder and a bank who says we must finish, even though they chose our builder. I have learned a great many things from doing all this and feel I could tackle just about anything. Oh and yes you may have to put in extensions,we had to anyway as we have extensive beadboard and need extensions for that as well. Here is some of what I have been working on. Cabs will be white, haven't decided if I am going with lt grey or white grout yet....See MoreGlass and subway tile backsplash
Comments (7)Nishka -- HAWT KITCHEN! Love the mirror, initially thought it was another pass-through. After seeing your beautiful cabs, I thought of Rufinox, who recently combined subs and glass. There's a link at the bottom. I am not an expert, but whatever I do I think I would post another question about where to end the backsplash heightwise, since your cabs don't go all the way to the ceiling. I would think at fan level b/h the range, and at cabs elsewhere. As always, make sure to post pictures!

Comments (2)I would do subway tile with your busy granite and floor tile, but I'd use a mosaic accent because you like rich color and detailing. I think you'll be unhappy with a plain subway. I'm not a fan of square accent tiles though. They've been around too long and are boring. I'd get some of the skinny strips....See Moretxsuszq
