Can't decide on backsplash
Comments (8)Your choices are lovely. Since I recently did my kitchen, so I share your backsplash pain. A couple of thoughts: Grout samples of smaller tiles that you’re considering and see how you like the look before you commit. There was a mix of grey and white marble mosaics that I liked - until I saw a grouted sample. The reason my contractor and I decided against arabesque is that the spaces between the tiles won’t be even - look very closely at example photos - so it would take a lot more work to do properly, especially since I wanted colored grout. The size of the tiles also varied slightly. Oddly, this was true even on large machine made arabesques. I didn’t want to spend the time and money on them. After much searching, I have the spirit of arabesque (married to Mod?) in these Walker Zanger tiles, which I really like. I’m not suggesting these as an option for you - the colors are very limited - rather to give you ideas about alternatives to arabesque....See MoreGrey kitchen or grey and white?
Comments (8)I don't like the different colored upper/lower look in many kitchen, but I do think two toned would look good in your kitchen if you did the tall cabinets and fridge in white (or very light grey), the island and lowers in a darker grey or maybe blue/grey. Alternatively, I think varying just the island would work well too. Of course, you can always due everything the same too, in which case I'd look at a blue/grey or light grey. I did my kitchen with a very light grey perimeter (it was initially intended to be SW repose grey but turned out a bit lighter when color matched to the conversion varnish) and a stained grey island and tall cabinet/appliance wall. Happy with how it turned out.

Comments (6)IMO I need to see the actual color of the trim.But I rarely would mix warm and cool together . I need pictures for sure and what color walls have you used with the trim....See MoreHelp finding lightest gray or white with hint of gray paint
Comments (5)I am really liking mine. Remember it all looks different once applied than a swatch will. I have the lighter color - Weathered White - in my north facing kitchen and utility rooms, and the related darker shade in the adjacent rooms that are north facing and also don’t need quite as much light....See MoreDiana Bier Interiors, LLC
