Pot filler w/ this backsplash too busy? Slab or tile backsplash?
Comments (9)Hi Katie, Demo starts tomorrow, so no pics on progress yet, but I'll post when I have some. I'm working a little bit with a KD, and doing the rest myself with cabinetmaker. KD suggested open shelving like in the inspiration pic (but in stainless, specifically). I think it would stress me out though, lol! Having all of my bottles and stuff right out there (the range area is the focal point to basically my whole downstairs living area). My pantry rarely looks fabulous, and I'd be moving the pantry out into the open. So, I think we'll be making the vertical column things on either side of the mantel style range area into pull-out shelves for sheet pans, spices, small bottles, etc. I considered the open shelving with a pretty display of white bowls and dishes, but then I'd lose the storage space for the stuff I really need at my fingertips. Feel free to email me, too, if you want to exchange more ideas. It's a fun process!...See Morecant decide on backsplash, slab or calcutta tile, opinions please...
Comments (9)I'm assuming you've propped one of your White Dove cabinet doors against the marble & don't like the two together? Could you find an alternate slab? Slab marble is a more dramatic look than subway tile but if you don't like the slab.... Possibly add some trim pieces similar to this picture to your hood - not the doors but the trim pieces on the bottom of the hood. I'm not sure your hood shape could pull off the marble. I've seen pics of boxy marble hoods but they are usually in a contemporary kitchen without a traditional large crown molding (I do love your crown molding). edit: to clarify, your kitchen could totally pull off a slab marble backsplash. I'm just not sure how a marble hood would look in your hood style....See MoreSelecting tile backsplash

Comments (11)Looking at your last photo, I'm not feeling the "countertops are too cool" reaction that grey and cream elicits. Marble has been used with cream tones for a bit of human history, and white your faux marble is faux, I love the way your choices look. Full disclosure, I have a cream and white kitchen. If you want a darker backsplash, eid6161 shows you a nice option. But, if you like the look of your last photo, and you may not, look for a tile that matches either your cabinets or your counter. Pick one. I'd choose to match the white counter, which is basically what your last photo depicts. In this cream and white kitchen, the backsplash matches the whites of the upper cabinets, while the cream counters and lower cabinets match. But they could also have let the white uppers stand alone and married everything else. (The article talks about cream and white kitchens.) https://mariakillam.com/cream-kitchen/ I'd steer away from the brown family shown on the current tileboard. Those tones are pretty muddy. I understand the instinct to repeat the wall tones, but I personally think the current contrast enhances both....See Moreperrr1958
