The herringbone all over is possible. I realize they are bigger. That is why I am not sure.

Ok. Yes, how long are the tiles? How high is space from countertop to bottom of cabinets. I can do a scale layout and see how it would work. Measure the length of that wall too.

If the tiles are 2” x 8” that can work in under cabinet location. We would center pattern over range top and then let it play out in each direction.

Here is layout with 2 x 8” tiles.

Pretty. I think they are. Going to have to check

I will take measurements

Generally, there is 18” or so from countertop to bottom of lowest edge of cabinets. We will see where your are.

Flo tiles are 3” by 12”. Space between cabinet and countertop is 17”

Ok. Let me play with that but they might be too big. Getting mini-pedi. Bbl

Ok. This is 3” x 12” tiles I. Herringbone pattern. I don’t think this is best for your 17” high backsplash space. It just makes the scale too large. It definitely won’t work with a medallion over range. You do want a 1:3 ratio of width and length. Before you order any tile, check with your GC and or his “tile” person. It takes real experience to pull this off.

I Will

2x8 or 2x10 is best for the herringbone and limited backsplash area. (I did a 4x`12 on mine and wished I could have done a thinner tile)

2x8.

Compare it to the 3x12:

Cloe Tile (I think it's a 2x6 or 2.5 x 8)

Notice in the last photo Beth posted you have a lot of trouble getting good pattern herringbone with the size tile you have. Does it come in 2” x 8”. I think that would be best and no medallion. (Sorry, just not enough space for best look)!

I had such a problem finding something to match the counter top. I wish they were smaller too. The contractor seems it will work but going to talk to the tile guy and see what he thinks. If it doesn’t work I will be fine with the brick pattern Thanks for your input

👍🏻

Kitchen is finally finished. Just finished the backsplash yesterday. This group was amazing. Thank you for all your advice. Flo, so glad I went with the light floor.

Still have to accessorize and window treatment which I can use advice on what to do with windows

Roman Shades to match the walls or pick the color shade

I think I need color. I am going to put cushions on the bench a d getting a table

Herringbone came out great!!! Love no medallion! Looks very pro!! I like Roman Shades but let me think a bit on this. bbtomorrow.

I would buy different chairs for you gorgeous new kitchen or paint / stain them in that same dark color and add a bright cushion

Wow! It is just stunning! I agree a bit of color in the window and on the bench will give the room some pizzazz. But it’s so, so lovely. The herringbone backsplash is perfect.

It’s beautiful! I loved watching you transform this kitchen. Nicely done 👍🏻

Your kitchen is a delight! You made all the best choices and I bet your construction folks are going to showcase it on their website!

Thanks everyone. Couldn’t do it without the help of this post

Silvia I plan on having them recovered.

I had the same thought about the chairs.. recovering would be a good idea, but the wood tone justdoesn’t work either. I’d also suggest a different stain or paint.

I am going to get a stain chart and see what goes best with island. I won’t be able to match exactly the same because the woods are different. Need a stain with a red understand. I was always happy with the chairs, maybe because they were given to me. They are a high quality stool from room and board and very comfortable. Looking at them tonite and I totally agreee with your suggestion. Thanks again. So Overwhelmed with this whole process. Construction of the house is done. Now I have to work on the details and furnishings.

 I went to your bathroom remodel page and it wouldn't scrolled down to any comments or to leave a comment so that is odd just thought I'd tell you

You could have a stool in your bathroom that you can sit on cuz you got that little mirror there and it can even slide under the cabinet do you need another life between the mirrors? You could hang heart on the wall behind the toilet or the wall to the right of the toilet when you look at the toilet so you know which direction I'm talking about and do you need a cabinet in there?

Thanks. I will check it out

What did I do wrong. You are right

Happy leg now you can leave a comment. I pressed on the square box

Back for more advice. I bought a table for the bench area. Been looking for months for a 28” table in stainless steel or polished chrome. I went to Room and Board and they had one. After having it for a few days I want to return it. The bottom of the base is so wide that you can’t help but put your feet on it. Thought I would get the white glass so you couldn’t see the top of the table. Another mistake. I am thinking after I put my cushions on it might look better. But I don’t want to wait and have something happen to it and won’t be able to return. Anybody have any suggestions. This table is 28”. Thanks in advance

I am having my stools stained. One is done to see how it turned out. Needs lighter fabric

Hi! Anna! Good to see you! Your kitchen looks sick! Stool=perfection!!
Table can you get a round frosted glass top just about 32” round? It would work better and pull base out a little more but people will put their feet on the base no matter what. How high is bench? How thick is cushion? I have seen French Iron base tables with top of your choice. Check out restaurant supply sources. Something like these.

Flo I will get measurements tomorrow. I just don’t like it at all. So plain. I think one with legs would be better

Beautiful transformation!!! Be proud!!!

Just want to say I’ve enjoyed reading about you, Anna. I agree with you about the table being too plain. I don’t like the huge base, especially in your table’s location. It’d be uncomfortable to have it right at your feet.

Do you have a price point you want to stay under? Lots of options out there. In small space a good pedestal table is better than legs because with legs everyone sitting has to juggle a leg.

Flor, I paid $700 for this. Don’t want to go much higher. Would the marble tops clash with my countertops. I am going to take measurements now

The bench is 18” high. I didn’t buy my cushions yet. I will make a drawing of the dimensions of the bench

Excuse my drawings hope you understand them. I measured the top and bottom of the bench

Ok. That’s good. Don’t go higher than 3” foam for cushions. It will be too high for comfortable seating. Bbl

Your marble and the floors look really nice I like that little marble tables sit in there and that little Nook area

Is it possible a rectangle would work better? I agree with you that this one isn’t right.

I was thinking about that

I was thinking that too. 👍🏻

Flo if you have time can you make a drawing

How big should it be
