Progress pics of kitchen--need backsplash ideas.
Comments (23)First off I like the granite! If you love it too, you can make it work. Do you love it? That is the questions. Do you love the granite? You said you were second guessing, I assume this was before you posted. If you do not love the granite but more like or say "eh sure", then I would say start a search for a granite that makes you really smile. Something that says "wow, I love this". Meanwhile you said you wanted to find a backsplash to go with this kitchen. Do you want to start with backsplash ideas and find a granite to go with them? Sometimes this is a great way to go. How modern do you want to go? How rustic or is the only rustic element the cabinetry? When I think of Rustic I think of.... �Leather or suede Pewter, zinc, orb, wrought iron, rust Wood floors, branches, bark, twigs cotton, hemp, linen, wool, Stone tile, even old brick, rocks, or concrete Rustic Modern is a lovely direction. I can see why the sales person recommended the white Botticino marble. Did the salesperson see the cabinets? Have you collected some favorite images for inspiration? Maybe clippings? What elements besides rustic, modern and plain come to mind? Colors? Textures? For now lets look at some rustic modern kitchens that might help and from there we can find out what you love and start a plan. Let me know the colors, textures, even granites or backsplashes that you love in any of the images below and we can search for more. Keep in mind I am simply guessing because all I have so far are these words. "rustic, Modern, Plain" ~boxer I am showing you this image with rustic cherry cabs and a warm backsplash and counter. The glass tiles lend a sense of modern in this space but it is not plain. rustic cabs but a more contemporary glass tile white with wood This makes me think of rustic modern. The modern feel of the cabinets but the rustic beams and the rustic earthy feel to the space. Lastly backsplashes, since this was after all your original question...See MoreHere's my kitchen - need backsplash ideas!
Comments (27)Most who do the Fire & Ice get the quartz which is lighter. There is also the Fire & Ice in slate which is more colorful/dramatic. If you are leaning toward understated the Grazia rixi is a very pretty tile. Grazia makes other series besides rixi that you might want to check out. I agree with previous poster-not too blown away by your samples but then we are seeing them on our monitors so maybe in real life they look great with your floor, counters, cabinets. I would do one extreme (understated/calm/elegant-maybe marble) or the other (glass, colorful, dramatic but classy at the same time). Your counter is pretty neutral so you have soooo many choices open to you. Another thought-do something like the Fire & Ice behind your stove continuing up to the ceiling and then something understated/calm on the other spaces??? Pick one of the colors in the F & I that matches with one of the colors in your floor and use that in 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 or whatever size you decide for the other areas. Just an idea....See MoreKitchen Backsplash - Start Over?
Comments (13)Enduring....Yep, you're right! Sanded is stronger and doesn't shrink as much. Last one I did in Houston, I used "Fusion Pro" grout. Very fine sand and he loved it! I might add, although it's a bit late...when doing a backsplash, ALWAYS space the bottom row an eighth of an inch off the countertop and caulk that with a matching, sanded, silicone caulk as microscopic movement WILL cause it to crack if you grout it....See Moremural as a backsplash behind the stove
Comments (4)The idea is very close. How pretty yours is. Mine will be painted on the same tiles as the rest of the white backsplash and it will have an inch and a half wide pencil tile as a border. Do you mind telling me how large the mural is and how much space you had above the range to work with? That would help me a lot visualizing it. My entire height is 22 inches and I will have only one and a half inches on the top and sides. Do you have any problems with grease splatters? Do you seal it annually? Thanks so much for your help....See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
