Backsplash advice -- Rookwood tiles, layout, color, help!
Comments (9)Hello all, this is a follow-up to the original message from a couple of months ago. I found out that Rookwood make a thinner field tile in the same glaze as the decorative tiles, so my worries about the tile butting into window casings are now solved. BUT, I'm still trying to figure out what size field tile to use. A little background: I really, really love the decorative tiles and the polychrome glaze on them is gorgeous. But in general I'm not a fan of really busy tilework, and I rather like the idea of the decorative tiles floating in amongst the rest of the backsplash. Put another way, I really *don't* want this to look like a framed picture set against the backsplash. But, on the other hand, keep in mind that the field tiles will be about a quarter of an inch less proud than the decorative tiles. Given all this, what would you advise -- what's going to look the least obtrusive, most "natural" and least busy?? I made color photocopies of the decorative tiles to scale and taped them to the wall along with mock paper field tiles in the same dimension (6x9) running the opposite orientation. They would look like this: Then the tile designer came up with these sketches of progressively smaller tiles (subway and square). She also suggests putting a pencil liner around the whole thing. What do you think of these?: Unfortunately the tile showroom is in another state and the designer is only seeing the same photos, etc., that I'm posting here. So she can advise, but I'm open to other input as well. Any thoughts on all of this much appreciated!...See MoreBacksplash - Bay window
Comments (3)I think I just saw your kitchen in another thread on LED under cabinet lighting. The above photos I cannot access it says the image has been moved or deleted... :-Our issue is to continue or not the tile all the way up to the ceiling (we have 9 foot normally, but 8 at this window because the corner at the ceiling is cut off) and into the bay window. Your window if I recall was not a bay window (the countertop did not extend into it). Could you try to upload the pictures again? Thanks! Also, what kind of backsplash tile is that in your kitchen?

Comments (14)We are in mid-reno phase with cabinetry arriving soon, so I used a rendered image (previously the washer and dryer were on opposite ends of the 9'x6' room/hallway with only 2 base cabinets and a long open shelf for storage). It's not a perfect design - but we really needed extra storage and wanted to preserve the natural light from the window. The wall cabinets are a custom 15" depth which should help with access over the dryer (with less-utilized items stored at the back)....See MoreNeed some quick help on backsplash layout
Comments (14)GC said they were going to make the corners a 45 degree cut of the bullnose. So I was trying to envision what that would mean on the edge of the window on the left. The tile setter coming tomorrow is well skilled. He rocked 2 fireplaces and hearths, built and tiled 3 showers, installed all the floor tiles, woodfloors, and carpet. I've see all of that work myself. So I feel confident in his skills. I just think the GCs idea here is wrong. I have the tile setters phone number. GC is going to be out of town tomorrow, so I can talk directly to tile setter....See MoreGoing Northwest
