Here the TM is used as BS. Lovely, if budget allows! (pics aren't loading for me) Most pics came with light cabs, but you get the gist.

I would look for a tile backsplash. With your slab cabinets, a little but of texture and pattern might be nice. I would consider TM subway tile in a slightly larger format than usual. Or perhaps a simple cream pulled from the TM in an interesting shape, say an elongated hex or a cross pattern. Fireclay and Heath have lots of colors and many shapes.

Thank you for these ideas. I really like the White Haze posted above. I went on the website: https://akdo.com/?s=haze and it looks like that color/materials comes in many different sizes and patterns. I'll try to get a sample.

The Taj is the star. Go back to the drawing board for a plain and simple tile, and DON'T SELECT IT until your Taj is installed. Don't try to make two stars. No.n.e of your selections to now.
