Help me decide on backsplash areas
Comments (3)I'll have to get a picture of my setup because it's pretty much exactly what you are doing (LOVE the dropdown vanity). The backsplash is straight across the back and therefore, is taller behind the vanity. The mirror then runs along that straight edge. It will look definitely look odd if you drop it down. I'll try to take a picture tonight if I have a chance after I get home from work....See MoreHelp me decide between 2 glass tile backsplash choices.
Comments (6)Thank you! I'm leaning towards the garnet myself.. because I am too a red kinda gal, but was afraid it would be too loud if you know what I mean. I was thinking it would be more serene with the blue/green, however the granite has specks of garnet in it, which I think would look really nice. Its called bourbon blend and found it online. http://www.glasstilestore.com/bourbon-blend-p/bourbon%20blend.htm...See MoreHelp me decide where to stop backsplash tile!
Comments (2)I am no design expert so I am sure others will chime in that have more experience than me. Since you said your floor tile is already busy, and you want to go with a busy skinny brick backsplash, on the wall that has the range and hood, I would only put that skinny brick behind the stove and hood and go straight up to the ceiling. I personally would not do the entire wall with that tile. Y'know that saying "too much of a good thing"? That's what I think of when you say you want to tile the entire wall. The tile looses it's uniqueness (is that such a word?) when it's everywhere. Plus, if your floor is busy, and your countertops will be busy with granite, and your wall is super busy, your eye will be drawn to all these different surfaces and textures. It's not a soothing look. All three textures will be competing with each other. The wall with the sink....does it have a window in it? Are the cabinets on that wall? Again, I would not tile the entire wall, only up to underneath the cabinets (assuming there are some there). I personally would have one texture be the focal point, whether it be the countertops, backsplash or floor. I really love the tile around the fireplace so I personally would choose that as the dominant texture and have the other surfaces more soothing, if that makes sense. When you mention painted crown moulding, I am assuming you mean on the walls and not on the cabinets. I think you would be fine with white above the cabinets since the cabinets do not go up to the ceiling. I have also seen crown moulding on top of tile, should you decide to tile the entire wall. As I said I am sure others will chime in. Good luck!...See MoreHelp me decide what liner/moulding to use for my backsplash
Comments (7)Thanks Bill for chiming in.I agree with you about the frame. Something in my gut was telling me it's just not right. I will go back to the tile store today and check out the options in between the two. Then I'll need your advice about grout! Marcy- thanks for the compliment, we are really loving it too! Eastbaymom- I appreciate your comment! The woman at the tile store thought I needed a little something bigger like the frame too. Such tough decisions. Thanks!...See MoreKaren Eagle
