would you mind sharing backs plash information? - I am remodeling my kitchen and would like to have back splash in glass mosaic and linear style in white and soft colors mixed. »
ksho Thanks for the info. I've actually decided to go with mother of pearl tile and found this wonderful resource online shellshockdesigns.com. Their product line is gorgeous and great prices too! I've already received my tile (not installed yet) and couldn't be more pleased.
No trim. First let's look at situations where no trim is needed. For most glass tile installations, when the tile is not cut, you don't need to trim it out. In this kitchen backsplash, matchstick glass tile runs horizontally and the top portion is smooth. The cut edges are right against the wall cabinet on one side and window casing on the other, so they are not exposed and do not need trim.
On template day, you may still need to make some decisions. Decide how much of the sink will show on an undermount install. If keeping the sink clean with little hassle is a priority, have the contractor bring the edge of the countertop flush with the walls of the sink. If you prefer the look shown here, where some of the top flange shows all around, let your installer know. Ask where the seams will be. Very few counters lack seams. In stone with veining, you may be able to hide a seam along a vein, and colored epoxies should make all seams hard to spot.
The basics: Stainless steel kitchen sinks contain chromium and nickel, materials that make them truly stainless and resistant to rust. The sinks come in varying thicknesses: 16 gauge (thicker and higher in quality) to 22 gauge (thinner and less expensive).Cost: $100 to $600 average. However, prices can go up dramatically — up to $2,000 or more — for premium steel, a thicker gauge and more complicated sink layouts.

Our color called 'Lotus" would be very close to this coloration.
