more countertop/backsplash conundrums- mixing quartz w/ marble bs
Comments (29)Fwiw, I just mixed faux-marble quartz (Lagoon) with a Carrera backsplash and at least in it's pre-grouted state, I'm really happy. It was hard for me to find a backsplash that worked well with the grey-ish tones of the Lagoon, mostly because my cabinets are painted taupe. Anything that "matched" the cabinets seemed too brownish for the counters. The Carrera blends the two perfectly. I think it also works because I wound up using a very small-scale herringbone pattern, so the patterns in the marble tiles are less pronounced. Fwiw, I don't see the calacutta tiles that the OP posted working with a greyish quartz that's similar to Lagoon, and I'd also be concerned about pattern overload with a subway tile. But having worried about the fake-next-to-real problem, I wanted to at least add my experience that it can be done. One of the prettiest kitchens on here, done by a pro, is GW user @kompy, who used a different marble subway with Lagoon counters, and it looks stunning....See MoreAnyone with a 2 inch backsplash or no backsplash?
Comments (21)Hi. We installed out kitchen in 2012. We still haven't chosen or decided on a backslpash - it's the painted wall. I have a creamy Egyptian marble, - don't remember the name. I like unstructured European vintage-y kitchens. Many of them don't have backsplashes either. My stainless range has a stainless backsplash directly behind it. I had picked out some mini-clear glass subway tile for the backsplash that coincidentally matches my Prescott Green paint color perfectly but what if I decide to change wall color one day? Just this week I started thinking maybe I made my backsplash tile decision three years ago which was to have none. Our marble installers tried very hard to discourage us from marble in the kitchen but I have not regretted it. All those kitchens in southern Europe can't be wrong. FYI - If you are considering glass backsplash look at a product call 3-Form it comes in an amazing variety of colors,textures and imbedded items, two good friends used it in their kitchens. http://www.3-form.com/ Do what speaks to you in your home.

Comments (4)We used bullnose. I really wanted to do custom pencil liner but when we got the quote from our tile place, it blew the budget completely. I thought I would hate it because it didn't match my inspiration backsplash, but honestly it looks complete and I rarely think about it these days. I think either works fine; just depends on your budget and your options....See Morehelp with edging for backsplash on vanity
Comments (1)It is my understanding that Schluter's Schien and Jolly are basically the same thing. The Schien was initially sold for use on floors and the Jolly was for walls because it was a more polished finish. The Schien can be used on walls. It is also my understanding that corner pieces are only available for Schluter's Rondec and Quadec trim pieces. The Rondec is a rounded profile and the Quadec is a flats profile that is wider than the Jolly. I used the Jolly on the vertical edge of my backsplash behind my cooktop and vent hood. Here is a close up picture of it in satin nickel: My DD and son both used used the polished nickel finish in their bathrooms. I don't have a picture of my son's but where his turned a corner the tiler mitered the 2 pieces. My DD ended her backsplash at the corners rather than continuing on the side walls. If you don't want to miter it you could just eliminate the side splash. This is a section of my DD's backsplash: Perhaps one of the tile experts on this forum will weigh in soon....See MoreLisa S
