Hi thanks for the responses ! The trim is going anywhere the backsplash ends , so all those cuts will be addressed. I just can’t quite figure out with what kind of trim. I’ve looked up the metal ones, but they’re very thin and I want one that’s at least an inch wide. And I’m not finding a matching glass tile color to use. And yeah, I originally didn’t want the side splash of the quartz on the wall either but was advised from several people that behind the sink areas, without a side splash, can create leaks / water eventually seeps in between the tile backsplash and counter top. And because the sink is in front of the pass thru , and we wanted a counter top for the pass thru anyway (paint never lasted and always came off bc of heat from food and how we use it) — with the side splash, there wasn’t enough space to put tile (I won’t lie, I wasn’t the most confident in my contractors abilities to do it either) so again, just decided to continue the quartz up. Definitely not the traditional way to do it, but I need this to last several years, and we use our kitchen a lot. So I figured this was the best way to get the most longevity out of our reno. But yeah, I myself would’ve preferred to not have it. Lol. My first choice for backsplash would have been marble - but thinking longevity — we cook with a lot of turmeric , paprika, etc - lots of staining ingredients- so I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of maintaining marble either (backsplash continues behind the stove) Out of all the options at floor &decor, this backsplash seemed to match best at the time. But now I’m just so unsure about it, so I’m just trying to make it work. Here’s picture of wood floor. It’s a townhouse - so foyer , kitchen and dining has same flooring. This pic was taken before backsplash. Thanks again for the input ! Any ideas on grout color? The cabinet color also keeps changing. Some days it looks blue, others a grey blue.

Harley - I originally found the tile at Tile Bar but then found it for a way better price on Amazon. If it’s not the exact same tile as the one from Tile Bar it’s so close I can’t tell a difference and it was $11 sq ft cheaper on Amazon. I ordered some sheets through Amazon directly and when they had trouble fulfilling I ordered the rest directly through Stone Tile Mosaics which is the Amazon seller. Stone Tile Mosaics were wonderful- they honored Amazons price and free shipping. I think the tile is made by Vouge Tile and its called Vogue Tile Thassos Hexagon Marble with Mix Circulos Mother of Pearl Tiles On Mosaic Sheet (1).

first or second from left. Not the third from left, way too light. it depends what u want from the grout. Stand out or blend in... i think the middle one would blend more, left one a little more bold.... either is fine
