Chosing a backsplash with black granite counters
Comments (23)All great suggestions! Boxerpups - Your images are very helpful, thank you. Do you mind my asking where you got the photo you posted at the link below? (I'd like to know what countertop material that is, and where I can get that same backsplash. This is exactly what I want to do with my kitchen. Thanks again!) http://s620.photobucket.com/albums/tt283/boxerpups22/Kitchens%20three/?action=viewät=e51b22e4.jpg...See MoreWhat backsplash with absolute Black and Typhoon Bordeaux?
Comments (2)Do you love your Typhoon Bordeaux? I wish I could have done my entire kitchen in it! I have a feeling I will be hugging my island daily once we move in! Your backsplash sounds really pretty- Can't wait to see pictures! i have a feeling I will do tumbled travertine as well and somehow incorporate the wine in the bordeaux and possibly put some absolute black granite in it as well... or do a border of some sort with a mixture of it all... Please show pics when it is complete!!...See Moreblack (or very dark) granite as a backsplash?
Comments (10)claybabe's backsplash is not a slab but it is black tile with a black countertop (dark with dark), so it could give you a great visual idea of what you're thinking about doing. Also, check out . It's a blue granite, so not super-dark, but it's certainly got presence! I have a slab backsplash but of white marble, and I LOVE it! Yes, it was more expensive than doing tile but the reason I love it is because I can see the marble. I chose this particular countertop marble for a reason: I think it's gorgeous and it makes my heart smile. If it were only on my counter I wouldn't be able to see it from other vistas, but with it as the backsplash, I see it when I'm in the breakfast nook, I see it from the family room, I see it every time I enter the kitchen. Here's a picture of my kitchen from a while ago (before it was finished), but it'll give you an idea. I guess maybe it depends on the material because I totally disagree with edlakin: I don't think our marble slab backsplash makes our kitchen seem modern -- I think the modern appliances and sink do that, but not the backsplash. But who's to say a touch of modern is a bad thing? Pas moi!...See Morex-post black granite tiles new backsplash
Comments (8)The tile guy came and made some suggestions based on the space and the 7 outlets. I then went to a very nice tile showroom. The saleswoman was incredibly helpful. Given the size of the area and more importantly the fact that we keep the toaster, coffee machine etc on the counter (and that won't ever change) she helped me decide on simple is better. So I have decided to go with a 2x4 crema marfil in a bricked pattern. I am still thinking about adding a liner just below the outlets to add something. Any suggestions? TIA, kelly...See Morekelleg69
