Vote! Marble or white tile/dark grout backsplash? (pic heavy)
Comments (57)Now focusing on either completely white marble or pale marble body color with pale streaking. Any suggestions? (All my samples of marble have medium to dark toned streaks.) One idea is pillowed thassos like Mindimoo, but I dont have a picture. Is it my imagination or did my thread about choosing the finish of the Modernaire hood crown disappear?...See MorePlease help with my backsplash (again and now with pictures!)
Comments (38)Quandries, seemed to have disappeared ;-(. It's so frustrating when so many of us here have offered their time to help, including myself spending time doing mockups, and then the original poster just disappears. It would be nice to know the direction they are going in, and for them to at least give a simple thanks to the large number of people here who took the time to offer suggestions and photos, even if the person goes in another direction. It's just manners. It seems to be the same pattern. Someone loves something, posts it here to get confirmation that their choice is a good one, doesn't receive that confirmation, and then they just disappear. I just did another two mockups for someone, and all I got was "can you do it another way for me", without even a simple thanks for the two I did. That's so rude! I just should keep my big mouth shut I know, but maybe I'm too sensitive for my own good, but this behavior bothers me. Really makes me not want to spend time doing artwork to help. I just feel badly for the people especially if I feel their choice isn't a good one, as these choices can cost thousands and I would hate to have someone make a mistake because they couldn't visualize the elements together, when I have the ability to help them to do that. End of rant...OK, I feel much better now ;-)....See MorePictures needed please!!! (counter/backsplash combo)

Comments (27)Posted by budgeteer_s (My Page) on Wed, Dec 31, 08 at 18:18 Thanks for all your suggestions. I wanted so much to follow with ci_lantro's suggestion because then I'm done. I'll gladly let you snatch that paint brush out of my hand. ha ha. But at the same time if a little tiling will tie up the project, then I'm game. jodi_socal: I'm a little disappointed when you said fire and ice won't work. I just LOVE that F&I BS. But then agin, I think I know all along it's a little too much for my kitchen. Caryscott & petra: Thanks for the picture petra, it says a thousand words. Is spectralight glass tiles? Prices are pretty reasonable. What about that milk green color? will it work? maybe with some garnet pieces sparingly mixed in. I will take some pictures and post two HD Behr's paint card to aid in the discussion of color. Thanks again ALL! Correction: My tiles were Alfagres: Gema4x4: different from what caryscott posted: I loved what caryscott linked:...See Moreeam44
