I wanted to show off my kitchen counter and backsplash

Not a great picture but the recycled glass looks amazing with the Mexican tile. Thanks to all those that gave me advice about recycled glass when I asked questions. A lot of people tried to talk me out of it. I wanted it from the first time I saw it and persisted.

2 years agoI decided to post the floor tile. My idea was to design the kitchen like an old Mexican cantina where the countertop and backsplash had weathered the years but the floor was showing some wear. I think the colors of the floor tile work with the counter and backsplash. My concern was that too much was going on but IMHO it all worked perfectly. The cabinets are all white with a stainless sink and appliances and nickel cabinet pulls.

Comments (11)Thanks for the input. I lean toward the Raven and Calacatta, too. (In fact we just told our contractor to put the order in for the countertop). I'm still not 100% sold on the marble tile, though, I originally wanted a carrera that would be more muted, but the tile shop we're using doesn't have anything that looks right with Raven. I just worry that the Calacatta is SO white. When I see kitchens like this: http://bungalowhomeinteriors.blogspot.com/2012/04/clients-home.html my eye is drawn to how cool the tile looks next to the cabinetry. Guess I'm also concerned that the calacatta has more movement in it, which could be distracting. I'm loving the look of this kitchen (also with Raven), but I don't know what the tile is: https://www.houzz.com/photos/south-pasadena-craftsman-traditional-kitchen-los-angeles-phvw-vp~14622889-Pasadena-Craftsman-traditional-kitchen-los-angeles Does anyone regret getting marble backsplash?...See MoreOff white kitchen remodel- ideas for quartz counter top and backsplash

Comments (9)Embeth We got our tile in Vancouver , Canada at Ames Tile . Our cabinets are painted with Benjamin Moore in Simply white which is a warmer white. That being said the silestone is a bit cool but the carrara tile has both warm and cool tones and ties it all together. We have soapstone with white veining on our island .Hardware we went with top knobs honey bronze which also is a warm tone. It is certainly not easy to find real stone tile to coordinate with a quartz . Make sure you bring the samples home and see them in your kitchen lighting. Also I brought home multiples of the marble tile and stacked in our kitchen to get a better idea of what the overall effect would be in the kitchen. We also were restrained by trying to match the tile in our foyer which this one does....See Moremissb_remodeling
