Comments (18)Thank you Beekeeperswife! I love your kitchen so much, I checked it out on the Mission Tile and Stone site too, fabulous! I asked my fabricator to make me lazy susan's out of my sink cutouts. I have one marble and one in granite. They're pretty heavy but they blend right in when they're sitting on the counter. The marble one is going to go on the wood breakfast table because I'm not so sure I want that one to blend in. Aokat, thank you! You're kitchen is going to be spectacular. If I could have chosen any size, layout and style kitchen I wanted, I'd have plucked yours right off the page! I tried to remove the corbels myself this morning because I'm off from work. No luck. Best left to the carpenter I guess. I bet he'll do that last. Thanks Pricklypearcactus! I appreciate the positive feedback. It's scary to spend so much money and then fear I'm creating a frankenstein every time something gets installed :)...See MoreBacksplash help, where should it stop?
Comments (23)More opinions! Love this forum (and the people here). I'll take a moment to admit right now that before I posted this I was wanting to stop the backsplash in the corner and was leaning toward option 2 or 3. Making the drawings actually helped a LOT though and now I'm preferring option 4. orcasgramma, thanks for voting #1! I actually like that option a lot even though integrated backsplashes aren't in favor these days. I like the idea of repainting every so often to change up the look. remodelfla, the ceiling in this room is 12' high and flat. No slope or peak. rmkitchen, point taken that the style of the backsplash may have to play into the decision. ellendi, another good point that tiling up the wall would be better if that wall were facing the entrance. Let me add some more info that directly relates to #5 (BS to top of window). The room has 12' ceilings that are flat. The soffit is on two of the walls as seen. It creates a very strong horizontal line that continues all the way around the room at the height of its top. On the wall behind me there are "windows" up high whose bottoms are at the same level as the top of the soffit. The right wall is all sliding glass door and window, both of which are as tall as the top of the soffit. That's why I suggested running the backsplash up to the top of the soffit instead of the bottom. It would be very much in character with the strong horizontal break at that height. As for stopping the backsplash in the corner, I was inspired by this recent photo posted of another member's kitchen. However, their blank wall doesn't have a sink and can get away without any backsplash at all....See More[Advice needed] Where to stop backsplash in vaulted ceiling kitchen?
Comments (5)if the high point of the ceiling isnt symmetric with the sink... i'd skip highlighting that. have your splash match the bottom of your uppers OR some sensible spot on your hood higher than the bottom of your uppers if its like... 20". dont go higher so you can ignore the vault. if you intend to tile to the ceiling of your hood wall... stay at 18" on your sink wall with or without uppers....See Morewhere to stop my backsplash?
Comments (5)The purpose of a back splash is to protect the wall from cooking/mixing splatters. It also has the benefit of being easy to clean. So, if you'll be mixing stuff on the peninsula area that could splash and splatter, take the back splash to the edge and/or to the top. If not, make it flush with the cabinets. If you won't be mixing on the peninsula, I'd take it to the cabinet edge. It really depends on how you use your kitchen and what your aesthetic preference is. If you take it to the edge, I really like the idea of adding shelves:...See MoreAnna (6B/7A in MD)
