Kitchen Backsplash Help
Comments (5)So that refrigerator in photo 2 is in the cavity next to your ovens in the first photo? I wouldn't tile that wall, based on the keyhole view I have. Are the kids that messy? Too, a full height tile wall is going to be much more sonically reflective than drywall. Tile would make little voices and little bangings and clangings a few notches more grating....See MoreNeed kitchen backsplash help for a Victorian
Comments (28)Thanks so much everyone for your thoughtful comments. I have made some pretty swooping changes on finishes in the last 24 hours. We are now going with the matte black stove from Big Chill to tie in the matte black wood stove that exists. Burnished gold knobs/pulls. Muted herringbone backsplash in shades of white and grey (TBD which exactly. Now looking at marble because we are saving a little on a non-custom stove color but may not go that way.) White cabinets, marble look quartz around the perimeter and a chunky butcher block handmade by my contractor for the island. Adding cobalt blue accessories in the window seat cushion fabric, stools painted in an enamel, dishes. Some pops of yellow and blue and white patterns in dishware. This house is more elegant and "grown-up" for my husband and me (in our 30s-40s) so though I absolutely adore color our dining room is a bright yellow and the powder room (both visible from the kitchen) is a deep blue with silver wallpaper. I think the eye needs a place to rest. The kitchen itself wants to be a classier, more graceful space, and the pics of Victorian working kitchens have all inspired me. I think we have got it!...See MoreKitchen backsplash help!
Comments (5)Since your cabinets don't go to the ceiling I would stop at the bottom of the hood. I also agree with you - white grout not dark. Beautiful kitchen!...See Morekitchen backsplash help
Comments (1)I like the bigger tiles. I did 3x12 stacked in my shower and I love it. If you want vertical look at the picket fence tile. It is similar to subway but with a little oomph The only way to figure out what looks best is through samples. I collected a bunch before making a decision. Most tile shops will return the samples you don't want....See MoreJohanne Blansche Designs
