backsplash - Hi, I have read the comments on what kind of tiles these are, but I am been unsucessful in finding where I can purchase them. Is there a website that sells these tiles? thank you so much, your design is beautiful! »

Cindy Crane Ernestine Taylor- this tile isn't exactly the same, but it's smaller herringbone on mesh. Easy install. http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/cacbiho1x2he.html

Incorporating large windows into a backsplash - Hi, could you let me know if this window is lower than the countertop and if so how did you install the kitchen base cabinets around this? EG, what did you do to the back of the base cabinets? - Paint them a color etc. We have a gorgeous Victorian home with 2 huge picture windows on a long span of wall we want to install a run of base cabinets on and I'm thinking of incorporating the windows into the backsplash to keep the feel of the house as they run lower than the base cabinets/countertop would be. Many Thanks in advance for your opinion. »

justbuilding Sally, Take a look at Mt. Baker by Bosworth Hoedemaker on Houzz. The kitchen does have windows behind the countertop that are lower than counter height and there is discussion about it in the questiions and answers. Good luck.

Shirley Meisels I've done many kitchens with this treatment.
I would either run the countertop right into the window sill, or build a window well out of the countertop around each window

chairs - what fabric is on the chairs and whre did you get the chairs Thank you...the kitchen is lovely »

Like · Comment · 12 months ago

Shirley Meisels I had the chairs custom made. To be honest I have discovered that this particular fabric did not end up wearing well over time, so I don't want to recommend the name. It was a cream and grey pinstripe. I'm sure Robert Allen will have options.

Can you use this backsplash with grey soapstone counters or would that be too busy? - Beautiful kitchen. We looked at marble, but decided on soapstone for our kitchen - charcoal grey. We also love the color of these tiles and how they are in the chevron style. Would these tiles look too busy with soapstone? »

Shirley Meisels I wouldn't hesitate to do soapstone with the herringbone. I like layering textures and colour/contrast.

What type and brand of sheer treatment did you use in the window? - The sheer treatment looks terrific layered underneath the roman shade! Can you give the details on type and source for the sheer? I can't tell from the photo exactly what is going on, but I love the look. I'm contemplating doing something similar in a bedroom where we need to let light in but obscure a less-than-stellar view. »

I was just wondering about the height of the ceiling? We are remodling a house and I would love to do the double stacked cabinets with the smaller ones on the top but I am working with an 8 foot ceiling. Is it possible to do without it looking silly? »

Sarah Walters thank you, I emailed the manufactor and hopefully will find a place that sells them locally! I love your design!

Sarah Walters I was able to find it on a website in USA, however the color looks really gray. In the picture the backsplash looks to be in the brown family as does the window treatment. Is the lighting off on the picture?

Shirley Meisels I bought them at a variety of local gift and antique shops- kind of all over the place.
But I find that crate and barrel and pottery barn are a good source for that type of thing.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to Houzz Tour: Builder's Beige Gets a Makeover

The family is very busy and the kitchen is the hub of the household. "We wanted the kitchen to be functional with as much storage as possible without feeling overwhelming," Meisels says. "We were looking for light and airy, and running the cabinets right up to the ceiling utilized every square inch of storage while also creating the illusion of height. The glass cabinets are primarily for decorative display and break up the heaviness of all of the cabinetry. The reflection of glass adds a bit of sparkle as well."As for the backsplash: Why herringbone? "Everyone loves the herringbone!" Meisels says. "There seemed to be so much going on in this kitchen with the huge marble island and marble Sarinnen table (in the breakfast nook), so I was reluctant to use stone for the backsplash as well. A kitchen like this demanded a luxurious finish, so I used a simple tile but installed it in a sophisticated and interesting pattern."

added by Kenny Grono to Contractor Tips: How to Install Tile Flawlessly

Anyplace where tile meets a surface that may move — counters and tubs are good examples — you'll need to seal the joints with a flexible sealant instead of grout. For tubs, 100% silicone is best. For counters, get a caulk that is color matched to your grout, available from your tile dealer.More: How to Shop for TileStraight from Spain: Amazing New Trends in Tile
