Please help me with my backsplash decision
Comments (18)Joaniepoanie: I like your idea of pulling out the gray. The Meram blanc has a lot of gray streaks but very light. That's why I liked it. I need to check out some grayish tile this week. Sixtyohno: thanks for the suggestion. I just can't seem to find the right tile...at least not yet! I'm sure with some help from all of you experts, I'll have a backsplash before too long :). If anyone has a great idea for tile, I'm open for more suggestions! They're coming to demo tomorrow....I'm excited but nervous!

Comments (3)Oh I don't know...some vertical glass would be really neat. Home depot has some great pricing on glas actually. As does overstock.

Comments (5)Yay! My two heroes responded! remodelfla: If we went with the marble we'd get either a 4x4 or a subway of some sort. The 12x12 was just the sample the tile store had on hand. Our granite has TONS of movement. We've tried multiple things with it and they all wind up competing with the granite. Any tile pattern (and tile) would have to be really, really simple. If we had more space, I would LOVE to do the fireback as I just love the look and also think it would be perfect with the look of our kitchen. The space behind the stove will be about 21" x 31" - not that much. I may try a mock-up to see what it feels like. OTOH, we have the granite, Hubby and I both love the granite, we know it matches, it would be easy to keep clean (very important factor for us) and it gets the igloochic Seal of Approval(tm). I could always do a fireback for the fireplace once we get to that project. We love our color palette too. It's the one of the few things that Hubby and I both strongly agreed on....See MoreBacksplash help decision help needed for my kitchen.
Comments (22)I think doing a mix of different white tiles, or a mix of gloss and matte tiles might be easier to harmonize with the other two whites than having an expanse of a single white in the backsplash. These ideas are from Heath Ceramics. A mix of Heath's canvas white and vanilla bean. I don't know if I like this pattern for you, but I like the color mix. This is a dual-glazed tile; part of the tile is glossy and part is matte (I don't know if anyone but Heath does this, but you could mix gloss and matte tiles from someone else for a similar effect)...See MorePipdog
