Opinions on Tile

10 years ago

Good Afternoon everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my message. I feel like I can not make one more decision….and as soon as I finalize 2 things we can be DONE!
We originally were debating refinishing our knotty pine cabinets or starting over. Thanks to a plumbing issue in an upstairs bathroom that decision was made for us…..But we could not have done it without Gardeweb!
I have it down to 2 tile choices +/- an accent and 2 oil rubbed bronze cabinet pull choices. We have glass pendants to hang over the island still, but otherwise here it is!

I plan to paint the area behind the toaster (Pale Smoke by BM). You can see a little of the color in the tile close ups and above the doorway. Pale grey with blue undertones.
Originally I wanted to do a lantern/arabesque tile, but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t $$$$ in a color that went with the countertops.
So I am down to this Jeffery Court Subway tile in Mountain mist (pale grey with a hint of taupe). It comes flat or beveled. Sorry, rainy day so not the best pictures ever.

1) So beveled or flat?
2) Should I end the tile at the counter and put pencil on the edge? Or go past the counter to the door frame?
3) Should I add in an accent tile behind the cooktop?
I like this stone and pewter tile, it would tie in the blues and browns and creams and greys. I could do a solid square or a frame or something else. But is it just too much going on? Wrong style? Too sparkly?

It comes in these patterns
