Wet Bar Backsplash ...advice needed!
Comments (2)I always wondered why you needed a mirror to pour yourself a shot. It was a cliche' that I pandered to when customers wanted it. No so much anymore. But I have to admit it does look shiny nice with mirrors on the walls in former closet spaces. (I'm a non-drinker and I don't like looking at myself, so take these reflections with a soupcon of salt on your tequila.)...See MoreWet Bar Backsplash ...advice needed!
Comments (5)Thanks everyone for your replies! I think once we have all the cabinets and counters installed, we will buy a framed mirror and put it up to see how it looks (thanks for the advice sweeby). I was in a mirror store and the lady pointed me to a bronze finish mirror which she said people put up in wet bars. It has a smokeyish brownish tint, and seems to reduce the glare. Not sure if this will work with the colors we have chosen for the bar though....(Aristokraft sasparilla and cambria aragon countertops...stainless hardware and appliances. lesleyintn...I would LOVE to see pictures of your mirrored wet bar!...See MoreNeed help with our backsplash!

Comments (16)How did these two people impress you otherwise? I met two amazing-amazing!-designers in two different tile shops(both very upscale). It was like seeing magic. The space didn't even exist yet..I started describing it..in a very awkward way..and that lady, she just started drawing as I spoke..that was the first time when I actually saw my future bath..three-dimensional and all..and I and my DH, we kinda designed it, and talked it over with the GC, and there were blueprints, so I was supposed to know it, right? and she never heard of it even..yet she was able to show me the space that existed just in my head, and to show it better than I imagined it myself. That was incredible. I'll never ever forget it So if people who told you that..if they amazed and inspired you like this lady amazed me-then consider, of course otherwise..go with your guts:) because I've been to many many tile shops and met many people..and I remember only these two ladies. Ah, and the one I actually told you about-she also owned the shop..and couple others. 30 years in business, something like that. Maybe 40, I wouldn't be surprised. experience and knowledge of what you sell count. And I hope you did show them the kitchen..right? not only the stone? or tried to draw the plan, describe it otherwise?...See MoreNeed quick backsplash tile advice - too much lip(page)?
Comments (16)Thanks everyone for the feedback. I sent detailed texts about my concern with pictures and it appears he is unwilling to fix it (says he doesn't have time??). This isn't the first disagreement I've had with this guy but it's the most blatant one (I was willing to concede the benefit of the doubt before - nobody is perfect). So I think I'll just look for someone else to finish the job. Guess this means more delays but I'd rather it be done right and wait a little longer....See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
