The new sample will be timeless!

Melissa, you could most definitely do that! You are torturing me with that kitchen. And the lights look great! I love all of it. You are awesome at this! I will wait to see your sample, but I swear you cannot go wrong ...all the choices are gorgeous. :)

Thanks By design! And thanks Zaz! ! I bet your kitchen is beautiful as well because you've given me such great advice :)!!

Melissa, thanks, but that made me laugh. What I wanted was white cabinets like you, but was bouncing back and forth between that and cream.....I picked cream. I really regret it every time I see a great kitchen like yours. But when I move....I will choose wisely. lol ;)

Lighter tile definitely. It is a manufacturer match so go with it. Beautiful kitchen.

Thanks Bevballew! And Zaz, it's hysterical because I feel like my cabinets should be a creamier white!! I dim the lights every time I go in my kitchen, LOL!!

LOL Melissa, wanna trade? Anytime you're ready. I'll even remove and reinstall. ;D Your house looks great! :) The countertop is awesome. I love it. :) I think you get that by now. Lol :)

Hmmmm! All samples are classic. It seems that staying in the same line will give you a better match in texture and color. Take the tiles outside and look at the colors in the daylight. It may reveal underlying tones that help you decide. You have excellent taste so trust your gut, make a decision, and then go shopping. Merry Christmas!

Thanks 43 bathrooms:)!!

Easy pick for me... I would go with the off white bamboo subway tile;)

I was going to suggest a thicker and narrower border ... you already found it and it is perfect :)
I saw this picture and it made me think about your backsplash:

Your kitchen looks amazing. Congratulations on all the choices you have made!

Hey, beautiful house. I don't think that you are going to go wrong with any of those choices, but if it were me, I think I would go with the bamboo. I also love the pendant lights that you chose for your island -very nice.

Thank you :)!!

What is the brand/name/color or the flower tile? I love the look!

Thanks jbagdasar. The brand is Adex tile and it's the studio line/ bamboo flower in color, dawn. Here's the link :)! http://adexusa.com/257-hand-painted-boutique

I like the darker tan one because-- the white of your cabs fight with the off-white of the lighter tile. I think the tan would contrast better, and the tan would compliment your floors.

Hi All! Decided to go with the off white subway tile that goes with the flower tiles but now I'm confused about grout?! Lady at the store today talked me into this one but what go u all think? Go lighter? Or will this color (antique white) look good? Thank u:)!!

looks great....but why not off white grout as welll..
that one u have there looks wrong.

agree with jbagdaser

Hi Melissa, definitely a lighter grout as stated above. ⬆️ I thought you were putting them up already. Can't wait to see it finished. :)

I like the beige tan brick color best!

Have you thought of mixing the darker color subway with a white or cream color? Sounds like that would be the best of two worlds.

Ok, guess I should read everything, and I like your idea with the daisy and light color. Probably a bone color would go best. Not a darker color. Have fun.

Off white is your best choice

Antique white could end up with a yellow cast and affect the surrounding colors. It looks taupe in the picture. There seems to be a consensus of off white. Can you get the actual grout to try out? How about asking the tile installer to make a fresh sample board before you decide. Hope it helps.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE AT HOUZZ

Thanks everyone. I will go back to the tile store and select a different/lighter grout. So glad I asked u all before and not after it was put up!!! You guys have been such a big help. Thanks and merry Christmas to all who celebrate!!

I'd also suggest placing the off white subway against the floor for comparison. You're focused right now on the accent tiles...using the subway everywhere else might cause clash/competition with the floor expanse.

Thanks dclostboy but not sure what you mean. Do you think the off white subway doesn't go with the floor or the flower tile? The flower tile just to clarify will be 12 6x6 squares framed out in off white rectangle trim just over the range. Subway everywhere else.

Ok ZAz, backsplash is up:)!!! Thank u all for your advice! I'm so glad I didn't go with the darker grout.

OH Melissa, it looks absolutely beautiful!!!!!! I think your paint looks good with it too! I'm so happy for you, are you excited? You did a Great job! Did you get your table yet? Okay, no more questions. Lol :) Thanks for the update, you're a sweetie. :)

Thanks Zaz!! No, another 2 weeks on the table and the banquette but hopefully will be done soon and I'll send more pics of the room. I'm so happy with it & couldn't have done it without your advice & the other Houzzers!!

Gorgeous. Which subway did you choose, lighter or darker?

You're more than welcome Melissa, but to be honest..... you have great taste and I'd be honored to take some credit. But in reality .... it was all you. Really well done. Can't wait for the other pictures. Are you posting them here? Or a new post? Regardless, I will keep my eye out for them. Enjoy! :)

Stunning!

Hey Melissa, question? Do you have anymore dilemmas? I'm gonna miss helping you or trying to anyway. Lol :) I'm not wishing you a hard time..... just wondering. :)

Thanks Zaz, some silly ones I posted the other day but not about kitchen. I got a million answers so I think I'm good on those dilemmas, lol :). I will post more pics soon on here or also my kitchen cabinet guy wants to do a before & after on houzz so I'll give the heads up on this post when he does that :)!!

And thanks Shakuff!!

I would use the lighter color

Great Melissa, can't wait. :)

It turned out lovely. I love the flower tiles!

Beautifully done!

Really lovely. We'll be replacing our range in a year or so -- what brand is yours and how do you like it? Thanks!

Thanks everyone. Inpdx, the range is the GE cafe series and yes we really love it. The bottom is even an extra oven that can bake up to 400 degrees

I love your countertops! What are they? Your kitchen looks beautiful.

Thanks Hallersmith! They are a quartzite called Taj Mahal.

What are the pendant lights you gave on the island? They are perfect!

Thanks topfote! They are from a website called The Lighting Goods and that is their booth bay pendant

Here are a few more coffee tables

Need help, too!! https://www.houzz.com/discussions/backsplash-dilema-dsvw-vd~4758589
