Bianco antico is in. More backsplash help needed.
Comments (2)Everything looks beautiful so far, and I'm sure what ever you choose the result will be lovely. I am not a fan of the 4" border concept. It reminds me of the 4" laminate bs of yesteryear. I love the subway tile. I'm not sure which mosaic you think of as the basketweave, but you might want to consider using the small stone square mosaic with the large central pewter accent (just to the right of the stove) in a rectangle with a border/frame around it above the stove. You'll want to think about the spacing of the accent tiles - 4 as you have them, or 6 (mimics the burners) or three in the center. It's hard to know without tile dimensions but you'll figure it out. The image below from stonecontact gives an idea of what I'm thinking....See MoreAnother backsplash help needed plea!

Comments (9)Worn gray barn wood type floors are very trendy. Often the more trendy something is, the less timeless. I was at a flooring store just last week and the flooring specialist agreed that the grays were trending out. What is on trend or not doesn't matter if you love a look, but gray floors with your warm wood cabinets would also not work well color wise - as mentioned before warm woods and cool grays do not bring out the best in each other. Gray has been big while dark woods and whites were the predominate cabinet and trim colors because it works well with those tones. Now that warm tones are returning, gray is being used with a much lighter touch. I would not use it in something you expect to last 20 years like flooring. Wood cabinets, especially oak, have "movement" due to the grain variation and wood tone variation. Your countertop also has movement. If your backsplash also has movement there is no place for the eye to rest. Even if all three surfaces individually are pretty, movement in cabinets, countertop and backsplash comes off too busy as a whole. The subway tile in a cream would probably work the best. Consider cream or sage green for wall colors....See MoreBacksplash help needed!!
Comments (5)I recommend something neutral, easy to clean, and that doesn't compete with the stone. In your case, a charcoal subway tile with matching grout would be my suggestion....See More123sienna456
