Back-splash Help
Comments (6)That's an awesome idea. Lots of color, texture, robust surface for grime, etc. I'd glue 'em down using a siliconized latex adhesive caulk. (Siliconized latex caulk has more adhesion than plain latex caulk, but is much more removable later than pure silicon caulk. An example is a product called White Lightning 3006) Run a generous bead on the inside half inch edge and a zig zag down the middle then press firmly against the wall, checking that they don't shift. This will hold them fine but is also removable later with care. Just make sure the back sides are clean, for the adhesion....See MoreDo I Need BackSplash? Help with Suggestions!
Comments (27)Posted by budgeteer_s (My Page) on Wed, Dec 31, 08 at 18:18 Thanks for all your suggestions. I wanted so much to follow with ci_lantro's suggestion because then I'm done. I'll gladly let you snatch that paint brush out of my hand. ha ha. But at the same time if a little tiling will tie up the project, then I'm game. jodi_socal: I'm a little disappointed when you said fire and ice won't work. I just LOVE that F&I BS. But then agin, I think I know all along it's a little too much for my kitchen. Caryscott & petra: Thanks for the picture petra, it says a thousand words. Is spectralight glass tiles? Prices are pretty reasonable. What about that milk green color? will it work? maybe with some garnet pieces sparingly mixed in. I will take some pictures and post two HD Behr's paint card to aid in the discussion of color. Thanks again ALL! Correction: My tiles were Alfagres: Gema4x4: different from what caryscott posted: I loved what caryscott linked:...See MoreSilestone Eternal Marfil countertops-Backsplash help please!
Comments (4)Green goes well with warm colors, and green is appropriate given the style of your cabinets (Craftsman). Have you looked at greenish glass? Sometimes trying to get neutrals to match is too much work. I like the color of the ogee tile you're showing, but not the shape. Subway is a better fit with the style of your kitchen....See MoreSlab backsplash help!
Comments (3)I would take the backspash to the bottom of the window sill. If you take it up to the bottom of the cabinets, you’ll have to get extenders for your electrical outlet boxes, and pay more for the slab and extra cuts to accomodate them. I don’t think the extra cost would be worth it for the design value of another eight or so inches of backsplash height....See MoreRelated Professionals
