Counter tops and backsplash
Comments (16)BEAUTIFUL! You have to enjoy working in your garden, because it is really well tended and planned also. Love it. I see your high chain link fence is like my back fence....7 foot tall and 100 feet long. I've planted Confederate jasmine...or trachelospermum jasminoides....or something sounds like that? It is evergreen here, and makes a gorgeous privacy fence withing a few years. Maybe in 4 years but by 5 it is very effective....they use it in Italy everywhere, including to climb over arbors, up old stairways, and covering fences to create a living privacy fence. Let me recommend it to you for that purpose. If you like, I'll create a Flickr album about the use of this jasmine in Italian gardens (the ones I saw anyway) in Umbria. Etc. Here the cabana was covered in blooming jasmine, the short fence covered in the jasmine is kept trimmed as a short hedge, no hint of the chainlink frame holding it up inside....See MoreCounter top and backsplash
Comments (2)Marble place is trying to not have complaints as to how top fits to walls and is disguising it as a "seal" issue. Nonsense. Make 'em fit the top and tile from it. Silicone between top and tile, not grout....See MoreSuggestions for Countertop and Backsplash
Comments (1)If you're thinking about tile, I'd recommend the larger porcelain tile so you have fewer grout lines. Following Bill V's instructions I installed a beautiful green countertop using 14" x 14" tiles. Since most of the countertop is 24" deep I cut 2" off one side of each tile. The bullnosed pieces were 3" tall, but I cut an inch off each one to fit around the sides of the counters. I need to post pictures, but it turned out beautifully. I used laurel green tiles in the Crossville Empire series, but they come in all sorts of colors. The link below goes to their site, but you can't tell anything about the colors from the pictures. You have to see the actual samples. Happy hunting. ;-) Here is a link that might be useful: Crossville Tiles...See MoreOff white kitchen remodel- ideas for quartz counter top and backsplash
