Kitchen backsplash accent piece made from flashing?
Comments (0)I really like subway tile, and I really like tin backsplash too. I almost used a few of those thermoplastic stick-on faux tin pieces behind the stove, but came to my senses. We're putting subway tiles under all the cabinets. But I want an accent behind the stove, and haven't found any decorative tin panels that are quite right. We're fairly crafty, and I was wondering if it's possible to create our own embossed metal panel out of a wide sheet of aluminum house flashing. I'd like a design featuring a tree and rising sun. Is it a "thing" to use flashing for this purpose?...See MoreBack splash disaster above stove
Comments (15)Stainless the entire section over the range or replace the entire wall.. And call the idiots who "helped "you determine how much material you needed to do the task at hand. If you purchased from a slab yard, and were armed with a kitchen plan and elevation, and all dimensions? I would make them pay. There is ZERO excuse to discover this at INSTALL. Repeat ZERO....See Morekitchen backsplash and picture frame above stove under hood
Comments (9)eam44, with respect, I would never wear a Chanel suit because that just isn't me, never has been, never will be. I do, however, wear my Gap jeans almost daily, and have for decades : ) ...And that is why I changed my mind about not doing a 'feature' above my range... I saw a gorgeous tile feature that I loved, perfect coloring, and it was 'me'. The feature tile is fussy, it sits inside an inset, which is arched, and we have a deck-mount pot-filler which is offset to the inset. And our granite is busy. Way out of trend, very dated, and utterly gorgeous in my eyes. I cannot wait to have the backsplash installed now. Prior, after endless seas of plain jane subway (and our backsplash will have subway tile, BTW), I was lukewarm to despondent over the backsplash choices I had seen. meluky, if staying on trend is important to you (and that's fine if it is), don't put one in. If, however, it would make you smile every time you walked into your kitchen, and you didn't plan to sell your home in the next year or so, put one in. I agree with Momofthree Ma, "Do what you love"....See MoreBacksplash accent help
Comments (17)I think maybe skip the accent. I agree that a creamy white tiles would be better than bright white but a lot depends on the white in the counter. So, best to wait until counters are in to pick the tile. I think your cabinets and floor need a warmer countertop (calacatta gold like?)...See Moresimplechoices
