Help pick temporary (10yrs?) backsplash -lots of pics!
Comments (28)Yeah! Cousin came today and put in my 2 new drawers, and adjusted (reinstalled) the top middle drawer in the island vanity so it doesn't have a gap under it (but just barely "pimpled" the front where he tightened the screw too much and it *almost* came through the front! I didn't say anything b/c in taking the front off, I wasn't watching - talking to him- and let the front drop onto the 3 screws I'd already taken out that I'd stupidly laid in front of the drawer on the counter!). Next - drawer liners - all the Merillat drawers are getting worn already, though I expect the solid maple custom bottoms to wear better than laminated (paper) plywood. Sink base looks OK, but I'm buying a new trash can and thinking of setting it inside a dish pan, or at least putting vinyl tile or remnant or something under it - old dish drain board won't work since it's sloped, but maybe upside down? Have smaller can from laundry room there now. I will call laminate guy, but I think we'll end up living with this for 8-10 years since it looks like HD price for this laminate was $29/sf installed - so about $1000. Not worth it - too much else to do. Cousin said it would be months b4 he could do my crown since he's so busy now with landscaper and a big carpentry project someone finally made up her mind on. But maybe he can come back to fix my broken cabinet and install the oak shoe then if I finish it this week. I hate to have the crown sitting in DR all summer, but if he can just cut it roughly to length and do the mitred returns on a couple of pieces I can finish it and have it ready to go any time he's ready. He says (and I agree) finish the baseboards and casing first so when someone walks in my house it looks finished - no one will say anything about not having crown on tops of cabinets. I was only going to do crown 1st b/c I figured I could stain it in unfinished MBA it was so narrow and longest piece is 8ft, but that has changed since he got too busy to do it this week - we had originally scheduled kitchen work for early April. So I'm going to be spending all summer finishing baseboards and casings (not too many left), moving onto doors and window sashes (jambs and sills are all done)....See MorePlease pick your favorite Backsplash (Pics.)
Comments (4)I like photo #1 middle (unless it is too pinky which it may not be in person) because it is unique while still remaining somewhat neutral. The others look lovely with your paint color and granite, but I think that if you ever decide to change your paint color above your cabinets the others may limit you more. The second picture, right side is also nice, but I like the uniqueness of the other one better. Can you post a picture that shows them up against the cabinetry as well to see how all the colors tie together, they might help. Good luck! Kat :)...See MoreBacksplash Help...small SS backsplash??? Pics?
Comments (8)Thanks prill...I'm leaning towards only doing tile in area to the left of the casing...then in the window area just doing paint and the casing down to the counter. I guess I'll just have to be more dilligent with cleaning. The Reef was the first tile that spoke to me...I really thought I was going to go for a more solid blue, but reef is so much softer....it allows me to play up the color of the walls more...not that I have a lot of walls...And, I found out that my designer can get it for about 12.50/sf where I was quoted around $15/sf....See MorePLEASE Help me pick a backsplash!
Comments (13)What about a simple glass or crackle backslash with one of the colors in the slab? In the longer 4x12 In a subway layout. It's really classic and easy to live with. Your slab is the superstar... I love that Calcutta arabesque, but I agree it might be too busy of a pattern when all said and done. Wait until your slab is in, then get some samples and decide so you can see how it looks with your cabs and flooring... And another white glass... https://www.flooranddecor.com/glass-decoratives/crystal-white-ice-glass-tile-100088418.html#q=glass%2Bbacksplash&start=20 4x12 crystal glass https://www.flooranddecor.com/glass-decoratives/crystal-white-ice-glass-tile-100088418.html#q=glass+backsplash&sz=120&showBrand=true&start=20This might be really pretty too.... This might be too busy, but seems subtle and really pretty.... https://www.flooranddecor.com/deco-glam/dover-carrara-diamond-glass-mosaic-100086123.html#q=glass+backsplash&sz=120&showBrand=true&start=1 This is a Snow White shiny glass 6x12....See Morebarncatz
