Please advise on backsplash layout
Comments (11)Thanks for all the excellent feedback! To answer your questions: - EAM: the perimeter counters will be IKEA gray laminate with the metal effect edge; the island will be beech butcher block; the tile grout will be white. - robot: the ceiling is actually low vaulted so the 39" cabs wouldn't fit :( The house is an old rancher that I am trying to turn into a calm, sleek mid-century modern. The kitchen is 14' wide by 12' long and is open to the living room (which faces the cooktop wall). So the kitchen decor will effectively become part of the LR decor. I looked at a few zillion mosaic backsplashes on Houzz yesterday and they almost all have full tile from counter to cabinet. But...I must admit that some of them look *really* busy to me. I was originally thinking of a low backsplash just to add a bit of bling to the kitchen. If I do the full 19", will it be too much? Here's a pic of the tile I have chosen -- what do you think, wise GWers?...See MoreBacksplash advise DESPERATELY needed!!!
Comments (19)Lynn .... glad you like the Jeffrey Court field tile .... yes marry him (AND live happily ever after in sunny California!!) .... can you tell, I hate MI in the winter!!! I'm sure both you and Susan are doing much more extensive remodeling jobs than we did. I didn't get new cabinets. Really couldn't afford that and besides, my dad built those for me 32 years ago. Now, they DO need refinishing, and come spring, I'm going to decide just WHAT to do about that!! But I want to live with the rest of the NEW stuff for awhile. I did go to Beaver Tile and the lady there helped me a LOT!!! They are a tile showroom and do not sell to the public, so I have a tile store nearby I am using. But the young girl in that store just doesn't seem interested in my small project. She has made a few suggestions regarding the field tile (which I had already decided on); but as for the *sparkley* inset, she ONLY sees dark brown. Well, to get to the point, yesterday Kathy, suggested pulling the green out of the granite. So, I am getting samples of the colors: Thatch and Morrell. She thought the Thatch (caramel) color would blend OK (she's not sure about the glazing around the tile however; but the Morrell, would blend good and be a little more contrast. I am *trying* to put a pix of the Morrell in here. Read descriptions under pix!! Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! OK .... Picasa seems to have CHANGED where to find the html code so, hoping this works (oh, why can't I be tech savvy!!!) Well, I CAN NOT FIND anywhere those codes on Picasa .... so, you can (hopefully) copy/paste this in (hoping it shows up and you DON'T need a password) Could this be because I used a pix from a website and NOT an actual photo I took???

Comments (6)The only way that I can see that would make sense would be to have the drywall in back feathered out to close up the gap. What are you going to do about the gap on the sides? It should have filler pieces to go all the way to the wall and to be honest, you should have had a top custom cut. If this had been laid out on a template, the fabricator could have measured it to make up for the gaps. It may cost a bit more to do it right, but you really don't have much choice. I do love your floor tile though....See Morequartz counter top/backsplash
Comments (2)It is really easy to search for photos on Houzz. Here is one I found in 5 seconds. Not what I would put in my kitchen, but it works in this modern style. I think the back splash is glass. Not sure it would work as well if you are using more traditional materials....See Moreniccidhg
