backsplash with induction cooktop
Comments (4)I can't answer your question, but there are certainly plenty of people who have wallpaper behind their stove or cooktops. Mine has been there for 10 years or so. I guess I never even considered that it might be a flammability issue....See MoreHelp! Need to fit 3 cm backsplash and 23" deep cooktop
Comments (7)Kudzu, that's good to know. I'll ask the fabricator tomorrow. If they can do that, that'd be ideal. Patty cakes, I hear you. The current house has a huge island (granite), countertops on three sides (granite) and the backsplash fortunately is travertine. The new house doesn't have an island, far less countertop area and a 42 inch sink and very low backsplash only on one side, all of which limits the total area the granite will be on. I wanted granite on the backsplash particularly on the center of the wall behind the cooktop because there is one spot in the stone that's as intriguing and beautiful as a painting. Just wanted to give that little piece a visible spot, mainly for my own private enjoyment as it will be the only vertical area. However, after much thought and thinking about the feedback from the kitchens forum, I think I'll go with tile for the backsplash. Thank you!...See MoreThe 'picture thingys' behind the cooktop in the backsplash
Comments (22)I had purchased a marble mosaic from a seller in Lebanon off ebay for my "focal point". I went over the colors very carefully with him. I confirmed that the colors on my computer were actually colors x, y, and z, and he said "yes". The mosaic, as pictured, was just perfect for my space. The mural came very quickly for something coming from the Middle East, but when I opened it, I was really disappointed. One color was clearly not the color I had anticipated, and that is totally my fault. The whole color thing is really subjective and probably got lost in translation. The whoe mosaic, though, was "off". It looked like a very drab version of the photograph that was posted, yet it was supposed to be the actual mosaic. Of course, I wasn't taking into account lighting, etc. that always makes something like whiter, crisper. DUH. Anyway, I tried to love it, but the more I looked at it, the worse it seemed. The white in it just looked dirty. The whole thing looked like it needed to be cleaned, and that was just the nature of the stone chosen for the mosaic. I knew for sure it wasn't going to work when Hubs said, "That just looks dirty. It's kind of hideous." (He has a way of cutting to the chase. LOL!) It was only (only?) $125, but it still was an expensive lesson for me. When I am looking for something so specific, I really need to see it in real life. I sold it on Craig's list for $50....See MoreAnyone with Onyx Mosaic backsplash behind the cooktop?
