Please HELP! Maple Cabinets & White Subway Tile Backsplash
Comments (8)nik, Welcome! A couple of thoughts: if you love absolute black but are worried about maintenance, look at a leathered finish. It is much more forgiving than the polished finish to smudges, etc. There might be a reason you aren't seeing a lot of pictures with your color cabs and white tile - you might be right and it might be too bright. Try to get some sample tiles and bring them home and tape them to the wall to get an idea. You might find the answer really fast! Check the Finished Kitchen blog and Backsplash slideshow (link to FKB below, backsplash slideshow at FKB) for more pics to see if anyone else has done it - there are lots of successful rule breakers here! Maybe consider an off-white subway. Again checking a sample in your kitchen with your cabs and counter will help. If you both love the glass mosaic you might be able to incorporate it in a small area - like behind the backsplash or as an accent with 2 or 3 rows of mosaic between rows of subway - there are some examples in the finished backsplashes. Finally, congrats on making it this far! Here is a link that might be useful: Finished Kitchens...See MoreHelp with color for subway tile backsplash. Daltile biscuit?
Comments (8)Thank you both so much! These both help me to decide that Biscuit it is! Rhome410 - Following your link to the other photos was especially helpful because I was also afraid I would lose some of the shine that I think is so pretty with a whiter white subway (if that makes sense), but not so! Weedyacres, the shot of your whole kitchen helped me to see that once I paint my cabinets to match it's going to look great! Thank you both so much! Now I have 1 more question....Rhonme410, It looks like your has a slightly grey grout to enhance the tile but I'm afraid doing that will compete too much with our granite so looking to match the tile as best as I can which is what it looks like you did Weedyacres. Can you tell me what grout color you chose & brand?...See MoreBacksplash help with subway tile
