Looking for large tiles (4x12)ish for backsplash
Comments (13)Cat mom-we are going to use daltile modern dimensions for our kitchen backsplash. Would it be possible for you to post a picture of your hall bathroom where you went with the 4x12 in a horizontal brick pattern? That's what we'd like to do! Mountaineer2: I looked at every color of the bellavita bamboo glass tile-none was quite right. I was so bummed out because it is gorgeous!!! DH wanted to go with ceramic tile which is why we turned to the daltile. But if I were on my own, I'd get samples of all of the creek side to see if any would work. Sooooo pretty!...See MoreSecond thoughts about Crema Honed Marble Subway 3x6 Backsplash
Comments (10)Choosing a backsplash has been torture! I am trying to flow with the Mascarello granite & not compete with it. The colors are impossible. I think the Crema marble is elegant, but is it too light, or too plain or too hard to keep clean? Any advice would be appreciated? I change my mind every 5 minutes, day & night!

Comments (4)Your link did not capture a single picture, but if you meant this one, it is 3x6. These are 2x4. When you are wanting info on a picture, if you look to the upper right of it, under the title of the pic, "ususally" (but not every time) it will say Questions with a little tab next to it. Click on that and scroll down the page just a bit and you will see where other people asked questions about the pic and the answers. Often the tile is brought up in question on what size, color, where to buy, etc. This can be really helpful when searching for particulars. HTH :) p.s. I agree, you can use any size you want!...See MoreIs this going to look odd: 3x6 white subway baths and backsplash
Comments (4)We have an historic house and I can relate to your considerations. It's one thing to use a ubiquitous material, but not sure if you want it all over your house? And I can understand for resale value you wouldn't want it to look like you got a volume discount on the same exact type of tile. What we ended up doing was premium 3x6 white subway tiles in the tub and chair height walls in the main floor bath. In the secondary (finished basement) we did basic 6x6 white tiles in the shower, and beadboard wainscot on those walls. I feel the bathrooms compliment each other well and fit the period of our house without being exactly the same. We haven't done the kitchen (I've been scared off of renovating ever again ;) but if we do, I am considering either doing a sheet soapstone backsplash, or some green fireclay-type tiles. I would suggest you browse some local real estate listings and see if you can find any houses that match your level of renovation and sensitivity to historical materials. See what materials they've used coordinating throughout the houses. A lot of it is going to be region-specific. I love to attend open houses of 'time capsule' homes and see what they used. Around here in the 1920's era homes, there's generally a white bath on the main floor and a colored tile bath elsewhere. Kitchens have white subway tiles, but they have a bit of a different look, definitely more utilitarian. GL!...See MoreRelated Professionals

We just hung them Friday. Went with the chrome finishes instead of the brass that is often pictured. Very happy with them! Our island is big at 9 feet & these lights look great as a statement piece.
