Back Splash thoughts...
Comments (44)deedles and others, I want to be clear....the two stories are not related. The slimy tile people who are using my photos to market their skills are in no way trying to "make-up" with a free bs. I have been in contact with MS&T for a long time and they are just helping me out with some of the costs. Since the kitchen is going to be published, it is just good advertising for them. Having the last one published I'm pretty sure helped sell a lot of tile. I was going to try and get Artistic tile to help with the cost of their tile, but honestly, I think the arabesques are a better match, so I am not pursuing that avenue. I have ALL of YOU to thank for the encouragement to ask a tile manufacturer or retailer for a little help in exchange for a mention in a publication. Turns out they seem to be willing to help out when they know their tile will be published. The email from MS&T with the offer to help out with some costs just happened to come while we were emailing each other about the stolen photos. And btw, I have not received any email back from that company about the stolen photos. And they are still there on Houzz and their website....See MoreBacksplash Thoughts?
Comments (12)When you're looking at inspiration pics for backsplashes, always look at the counter with which the backsplash has been paired. In your second posted pic the backsplash has been paired with a plain black granite, which yours is not. You have a beautiful but complex patterned granite and need to keep that in mind. I'd go a simple matte. The alder cabinets also have an extra detail other than the style of cabinet in the knotty detail of the wood. You have enough going on and to add a third detail in other-than-simple tile for the backsplash will be too much....See MoreAnother Backsplash thread....thought we wanted green...now not so sure
Comments (42)Hey guys..not at home right now, but the Sherwin Williams color on the walls is "cachet cream". When I put it up, the running joke for the entire paint project was, "wow...i'm having a hankering for something...sweet...and orange-like...but with vanilla in the middle. Creamsicle!!!" However, after it dried, it mellowed into something more creamy / yellow. It definitely has a yellow tint in the natural light. When we painted the walls, we didn't know what the backsplash was going to be, so it was more of a 'guess' seeing as though we'd either get it right or have to paint it again...and it is sooooo much easier to paint with no flooring, etc. in the room... Here is a link to the color: Sherwin Williams Cachet Cream...See MoreBacksplash thoughts wanted please
Comments (4)That is a gorgeous tile! As always, you need to bring samples of both tile choices into your space and preview it. If 2 x 4 is too small, you'll know it when you see it propped up in you bar area. I hope it's not because that is so attractive I love it just looking at it....See Moremushcreek
