Backsplash advice please
Comments (2)Depending on your budget and/or DIY expertise, this could also be a great full tile wall (mosaic) behind the vanity. It is a small area and could really add some punch to the space. Wouldn't have to be too flashy, even a neutral glass tile would look spectacular....See Morebacksplash advice, please
Comments (14)Elz, Assuming you need 200 sf or less, which is the case for the majority of backsplashes, the material is in stock and you can have it within one to two weeks. If you have ANY trouble, please call me (Laura Steele at 212-727-9331) and I will make sure you are taken care of. Elz AND Flwrs, Sorry about misquoting JLevinson regarding the sanded grout - anyone who wants to protect beautiful glass tile from getting scratched is a friend of mine! And we especially appreciate clients who read the product installation instructions as you have! I'll suggest you stick with Star Quartz or Star Glass, again please call me if you have any questions. I promise you will love your backsplash - you have great taste!...See MoreKitchen Backsplash Advice Please!
Comments (11)In my galley kitchen, the stove is also very close to the wall - about 6". My contractor wanted to wrap the backsplash around the corner, but I felt that would violate the "galleyness" of the kitchen and make the space look closed-in. Like, your eye would "stop" on the tile instead of extending onward...if that makes any sense. I read here that people have had very good results with Benjamin Moore matte finish paint being scrubbable in their kitchens, so I went with that for my window wall. (There's so little wall showing in a galley kitchen!) Also, I was less worried because I don't cook much, and most of my cooking (such as it is) is on the burner furthest from the wall. If you do decide to wrap the tile around, I think you would have to do it on both sides. I don't know about going all the way up or not... questions like that definitely contributed to my deciding to do it the way I did! By the way, I *love* your kitchen! The cabinets are beautiful, and nice choice of appliances. :-) Question - it looks like your left sink base door is blocked by the radiator cover - is it really, or is that just an artifact of attemping to take photographs in such a small space? ;-)...See MoreBacksplash advice please!
Comments (2)This is a very pretty inspiration. I am not familiar with either the granite you have or this backsplash - but really the only way to tell if it will go is to get samples and bring them home to look at it. It is really hard to match colors just based on pictures. The inspiration photos are great places to start so you know what you are looking for - but you really need to see in person....See MoreNothing Left to Say
