Further thoughts on backsplash/tile - comments and ideas?
Comments (2)Well, we're nowhere near INSTALLING the backsplash yet! But I know that when these guys get going they move fast so I need to have my choices approximately sorted out in my head, even if not finalised. And, of course, backsplash can always go in months from now, but still - it'd be nice to get it done while they're on the job! And I keep hoping that backsplash may give me an idea for paint, since I STILL don't have a colour-scheme plotted out yet. Oy. Today, they've hung the rest of the upper cabinets, we've hashed out the final details of lower cabinet placement and how to build a fridge box out of the oven cabinet that came with the set (remember, 2ndhand cabinets so we're working with what we've got rather than ordered exact design) and they're now working on the beam where the old wall was, and punching the holes in the extension walls (which turned out to be cement block - YUK!) for outlets, sink pipes and gas line. It's actually been a slow week by their standards, but they're picking up steam so they can tie off a few things before the weekend! For a two-man operation, they're nothing short of amazing :)...See MoreBacksplash? No backsplash? What kind of backsplash?
Comments (25)didn't have time to read all the answers. I have no backsplash and have never regretted it...been over 6 yrs. It is painted with BM matte...which has ceramic in it. It is as beautiful now as it was when first painted. I love the fact that I can showcase other things ...art etc in my kitchen and no competition. Also if I ever want to change it is as quick as a paint brush...expense is minimal..paint only ! All in all I think it is serene as you point out . Here is one pick. Since I have a lot of high heat cooking in my kitchen..built in deep fat fryer as well as gas cook top I can definitely speak to the longevity of paint only. c ( more at this album )...See MoreThoughts on Quartz and backsplash choice, please
Comments (2)That combination should be fine with your cabinets. Wait until the new countertops are in to make a final backsplash decision though. I also suggest you swap your bulbs out for something a little cooler, which should help the grey go better....See MoreBacksplash Tile for Milky Quartz
