Who posted the hand glazed multicolor white subway 1/3matte 2/3gloss?
Comments (4)Not what you are specifically referring for... but I've had this mix of flat and patterned/embossed tiles in my head for a while (its a bit different from matte vs gloss mix, but yields a similarly interesting textural variation), and this seemed like appropriate place to share it, in a thread about matt/gloss textural mixtures. This isn't the backsplash direction we ended up following in our kitchen, (noooo... not me, I ended up with my heart set on something unique, but painfully-expensive from Walker Zanger), but it is one of the "reference" ideas we considered that still stands out to me, both for the mix of textures, and the 2-tone 2-wall effect in the publicity photo: This is a relatively cheap tile (Merola) than can be ordered from HomeDepot or Overstock in several colorways: http://www.homedepot.com/s/merola%2520Antic?NCNI-5 Cheap enough (compared to more "designer-y" tiles) that a large wall-filling installation is not stratospherically expansive?...See MorePaint match for IKEA Ringhult High Gloss White Cabinets

Comments (12)High gloss is not for me. Not because I don't think it can look good in certain applications, but because I would freak out at the first scratch. I learned my lesson (for me only) long ago on furniture and cabinets. In my first home I bought very expensive solid cherry coffee and end tables with a nice beautiful shiny finish. The cat went skidding over the coffee table and left a scratch about ten inches long. There was no way to hide it, buff it out, cover it. I'm better with painted or natural wood finishes that are more forgiving. If you don't have kids, dogs, cats or a spouse, it's probably fine. I remember my nephew once tried to figure out if a piece of jewelry was a real diamond by scratching the glass face of a vintage clock. Yeehaw, it wasn't a diamond but it did scratch the glass......See Morewhite gloss bedroom furniture and white gloss/marble floor
Comments (1)It is always better to have contrast, white on white is not the best option , and all glossy will make you feel crazy after a while....See Morebyac
