Horizontal versus diagonal backsplash
Comments (6)We are doing a diagonal lay and accent pieces on the square-my interior designer said it definitely shows as a more expensive tile doing it this way? I also prefer the look-my GC said it obviously costs more to do b/c of the extra cuts. We also are using a pencil trim on the end and top to "finish" it off. I saw this look in a display and loved the way it completed the backsplash to me. Our GC said only about 15% of people do this-which I also like b/c I want it to be a little bit different from others.

The easily attainable natural shades of unstained white oak is NOT necessarily what you see in high end "white oak" kitchens. wood is more variable than paint. If you have confidence in your cabinet maker and get a full sample door to ensure no suprises it's great... otherwise white paint is a safer choice. You usually get exactly what you expect with white paint....See MoreTimeless master floor tile
