I totally hear you Flo.....and you too Beth. Once I get that counter in, that should help with the decision.
Here’s something to add into the mix. I have a pantry/scullery near the kitchen. It needs a backsplash as well. Will have maple counter (no finish, just oil). Cabinets are SW Worldly Gray and walls are Uncertain Gray. What would you suggest in there? Here’s a pic...
