New tile accents on already laid tile backsplash
Comments (6)Not only that, but he did a crappy job with the one he did to begin with!! He never should've put that small piece at the bottom-- should've been two equal pieces top and bottom. Then you could even put your accents where the 4 courners of the tiles came together!! Sorry-- can you tell I have no patience for hacks that rape their customers?...See MoreCould use advice on this backsplash for kitchen remodel
Comments (48)This is glass tile from Fireclay Tile in Jasmine. It comes in matte and gloss in the same color and would look great with your cabinets and stones. It's shown in 2" x 8" here but available in other sizes as well, and can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Below it is their ceramic tile in Shell, also available in many shapes and sizes. I know you're looking primarily at glass, but the ceramic tile has some beautiful color variations and crazing and would lighten things up a bit. Do you have a tile budget in $/sf?...See MoreHaving trouble choosing backsplash tiles to go with my new kitchen!
Comments (9)Something I learned here is that when you can't match the backsplash tile to the counter, match it to the cabinets. That doesn't mean it has to be boring. I'm assuming the stove is on the back wall, hidden from the main view, and since that's the typical focal point, you might want the tile to provide more interest than you usually see with elaborate cabinets. You have strong shapes in the cabinets and in the plank floor, so I think you just want a little touch of something special. I'd like a square tile at the counter and a subway above it. I love how this bottom row of squares is built out. The field tile is actually squares, which would be very traditional and give you a bit of relief from all the rectangles, but it could also be done with subways above. It would be pretty with all cream tiles too. I think squares at the counter need something to separate them from the subway field tile. They used multi-colored 1" mosaic here, with a very subtle touch of black. With mosaics, you can pop out tiles and sub in others to control the color. Because there's a lot of lighter colors, it doesn't look like a black racing stripe around the room. Often a pencil liner is used but I wouldn't recommend a solid black liner. This would be a pretty transition from your black counters to cream subways. The faded black tiles would pull in the gray floor too. This is gorgeous where they used long subways at the counter, a row of natural stone mini mosaic, and 2x6 subways above. You have to click on it to see the details. You can see that this is a busy kitchen but the layering of tiles doesn't make it too much. I hope you and your tiler knows not to tile your side splashes. I don't know what that counter piece is along the one wall. Maybe it's just resting there....See MoreHelp! Kitchen Remodel Dilemma - Counters, Paint, Floors & Backsplash!
Comments (12)@A T Thanks for the recommendations! I hadn't considered Leathered granite, I do have some concerns on resale value with leathered as it is much less common, but will definitely look into it. The tile you suggested though is perfect! Thank you!! @la_la Girl I am open to making it all one level, but at this point planning to keep it different heights. My main concern is losing multiple outlets and that this opens directly into the living room. I kind of like the dual height from the perspective that it hides the mess in the kitchen (oops!), but I am definitely open to hearing reasons to take it down to one level! @acm Thanks for the input! You may be right, I could try painting the cabinets and then see how the granite looks before replacing. Since the butlers pantry is separated from the rest of the kitchen i have debated using that as my "test case" and painting the cabinets there to see how they look before getting into the rest of the kitchen....See MoreJoseph Corlett, LLC
