Backsplash tile around window, Need opinions, advice.
Comments (14)Thanks for the links to how to upload photos..I'm not too excited about yet another subscription to use an external site for my photos just to do this..The "test" page brings up a "browse" box which I assumed allowed you to pull up your image, but when I actually went to post, only the URL box showed up. I'll have to look into this a little more to see if there is anyway to avoid using another service. KitchenAddict & Circuspeanut - I Love your kitchens! KitchenAddict, if I ever get these posted, you'll see that we alomost have the same countertop, faucet, and all of us are even using white roller shades! (Tip- They can be hung backwords so you don't see the roll but the opening on the fastener is at the bottom so it could fall out easier. If you don't open and close it a lot, it's well worth it. I'm just super careful when I do it. For me, it's just a quick fix until I figure out what I want to use but considering painting a cool pattern on mine once I get a little further along into the project. I'll share those too as this progresses. Thanks for sharing the photos, they help a lot...Still hoping for more! Would love to see someone who has taken the tile all the way up around the sink window to help me decide....See MoreSmall border backsplash. Under or around the window?
Comments (2)It's not crazy to not want a backsplash. The 6 inch pieces tend to look too tall IMO, but you could always try getting wider window trim so the 4 inch won't leave a gap. For behind the stove you can go for a simple stainless steel panel or tile up to the bottom of the vent hood....See MoreKitchen backsplash around deep window
Comments (6)Go the ceiling line INSIDE the window "box, and on the exterior wall only. / That will balance the hood area. Sides to just under cabinet height. Don't tile the inside edges. of the box. AT ALL. Tile the ledge, and below...or get a remnant of your counter top cut to fit the "sill" , if there's room under the window casing....See MoreTile Back-Splash Placement Advice Needed
Comments (1)If I understand correctly, the wall cabinets on the sink wall will be replaced. Give that, I would run the tile to the ceiling, like the range wall...See MoreSammy
