Would you do a carrara marble backsplash over pedestal sink?
Comments (1)Personally I think I mini backsplash over a pedestal sink would look strange. The only way I think it would work would be in the case of tile, where you did it around the room as a wainscotting kind of application, which then went a little higher than the sink to act as a backsplash. Just my opinion though. I say do what you like! You're the only one who needs to love it....See MoreStraight-laid Carrara marble backsplash?

Comments (2)Many people with Carrara (which is similiar) have chosen Custom Platinum. It's a very light grey that tends to minimize patterns, if that is your goal. But, compare the color to your sample, as your tile may be different....See MoreNeed advice for carrara marble subway backsplash
Comments (5)Hello Bbabers, I've posted this elsewhere, but I don't mind repeating it. For very tight-set tiles, I like to use mason's string in long lengths laid into the horizontal joint as a spacer. The string is then carefully pulled out, like a rip chord, before the thinset has gotten hard. This method allows me to lay flat edges on the face of the tile, to assure that everything is "in plane" and to wash things up without disrupting the spacers. I've liked some of the very faint gray grouts (non-sanded of course) but there are too many variables to suggest a specific color now. Investigate which grout manufacturers are available to you and then get sample chits for the colors you are considering. I carry color boxes for five grout manufacturers and will often pull them all out when I am working with a client on color choices. I've got my preferred brands, but they each have unique color palettes so I show them all. More important than brand is the expiration date of the grout and whether the supplier adequately rotates their inventory. When you find the color you want, confirm with the supplier that the dates stamped on the package indicate a "fresh" grout. Cementitious products aren't generally reliable past 1 year after manufacture. Best of luck, Shaughnn...See MoreTiffany Taylor
