Redoing Kitchen
Sarah Powers
5 years ago
We are remodeling our kitchen and I am having difficulty choosing a backsplash. I am currently planning to use Quartz countertop on eternal calacatta gold. it's mostly white with grey veins and a little gold/taupe. My cabinets will be a white shaker style. My house is an open floor plan and we have a lot of taupe/brown/beige. The walls are BM Bennington grey, which is a beige color. Do you think this counter top and backsplash will look good together and with the paint color that I currently have?

Post Nashville floods need to redo kitchen on strict budget
Comments (16)So sorry to hear about your family. I live in the Nashville area and was lucky enough to not have any damage. There is a Sears Outlet (aka "scratch and dent") on Thompson Lane near Nolensville Road. We purchased a freezer for the garage there, but sometimes they have things that have no damage, or the damage is a dent on a place where you can't see it. I would definitely look there. We used to have a Kenmore french door refrigerator that I loved (we sold it with our house when we sold) and am very happy with my Kenmore Elite DW. I hope you are able to get your family back in their home very soon!...See Moreredo kitchen on foreclosed 1990 fairmont in Indiana

Comments (7)It might be better to add this to the "design dilemma" section rather than the "before and after." You might find you get more feedback that way, since the "before and after" is generally used for completed projects. Good luck with your kitchen!...See MoreNeed advice for redoing kitchen
Comments (17)Your pictures do not give a sense of the size of your kitchen. You have an eat in counter..and then the dining room for eating. I get a sense of space in your living room area that is not in your dining room. We need a floor plan...what will opening up your kitchen walls accomplish? You have necessary appliances on the wall between kitchen and dining room. Removing that wall seems logical until you realize you then need a spot for the 'fridge. I would not open the kitchen to the living room more than it is. I know it's all the rage but unless you are a super clean cook...who wants kitchen mess to always be in your face? I don't....See MoreSarah Powers

5 years agoI agree that the counter trends a little cooler, but I think it's neutral enough that it works. I have a beige-y counter and a more grey backsplash and I think they work well together.
