Rustic/Sloppy Backsplash for DW! What Do You Think?
Comments (34)Evoking, you remind me of an acquaintance who prefers all things "alternative" and outside of the norm. You reject things that are "typical" and how they're "supposed to be". The thing that I find interesting about that approach is, that since he rejects everything that is popular or well-revered - then he's closing himself off to things simply because they are the "norm". Which is no better than "typical people" who reject things that are outside of the norm. I find the rejection of both the "norm" and the "alternative" to be equally close-minded. Please consider that - just some food for thought. My point is, don't close yourself off to something just because you think it's common. And don't assume because some people don't like your tile treatment, that it's because it's unusual. Even if you are partially joking/teasing, to me it comes off as a bit hurtful. I would argue that the people on this forum are more visionary and open then the average people, because we're on this darn forum everyday researching and educating ourselves on design and renovations. I think some of us misinterpreted your original post as seeking guidance. You obviously are tickled pink about the tiles. That's all that matters. Enjoy them! And enjoy all of the opinions and amalgamated knowledge and research on this forum. That's what it's here for!...See MoreBacksplash with some color? What do you think of this one?
Comments (31)Well, your slabs are as busy as mine. So, I would have to say you need something that is calm and not attention grabbing. I did find some some Jeffrey Court marble tiles that were really pretty. And they mixed in some pieces that had a curvy line of something sparkly in it. Imagine a 1/8" x 1/8" mosaic in an S pattern running through the tile....and just one line of it. It was really cool. I think it was a liner, but it could have been used anywhere in the field tile. But it was mixed in with the same tiles that didn't have that S in it. Kind of hard to describe. I know it's new. It is Chapter 16. Here is a link that does not do it justice. If you do have a dealer near you, see if they have this sample board in the showroom and go. Really, I liked it a lot.

Comments (28)The wife and working partner of the tile installer was here yesterday and loved the tile and said it's not out of date. They've been installing a lot of it lately. I know she said this to make me feel better: "With that crackle, it's got kind of a subway look anyway." And the tile designer was very enthusiastic about it too. The photos don't do it justice; it really is pretty. But here's something we didn't expect: the installers are booked to (or through) July!!! But she said they're doing mostly bathrooms, so there might be an open day that comes up where they can do a backsplash. She said her husband will lay the tile in one day and she'll come back and grout it in less than an hour....See MoreBacksplash tiles - what do you think these are?
