I am asking for your help AGAIN~~

13 years ago

Okay, kitchen posters, I need you help again. Since I do not have pics (tech challenged), you will have to use your imagination....or maybe someone has some similiar pictures.
Cabinets---Pearl
Counter--Premier Santa Cecilia Granite
Hardware on cabinets and lights--antique bronze
Appliances--Stainless Steel
Flooring--Gunstock stained Hickory

NOW....for the backsplash? I had thought of a small subway in cream on 12x12 sheet with a brown grout?....doing all cream?...using 1" glass tile in shades of taupe?....using the cream subway with some insert of brown tone glass pencil tiles?....2x2 brown tiles (on 12x12 sheet)? I did not know that a simple back splash could cause such a problem for me to figure out. Also...color of the wall (and there is not much that will show)...brown or stay with the sageish olive that the other open concept will be????

Thanks to all for your help....and if you have any pics, they would certainly help me.

Best to you all in the New Year. I am so pleased that my house is coming along so nicely....and I could not be more happy with my Amish crew...they are amazing...and hope to move in sometime in Feb...and they have only been working on it for 2 months.

Happy New Year Phoggie! Ok, question, do you have to decide now, or can you wait until the kitchen is installed?

Sometimes seeing it all together is what is necessary to make that decision.

Which of the choices do YOU like when you see everything together? I'm not sure if the 1x1 tiles are the way to go, they may compete too much with your granite. I think a small cream subway with a matching grout would give you a simple look overall vs a busy look if you did a contrasting grout.

Wish you could post pictures. Have you read Buehl's primer on posting pics? It is easy. You can do it!

Look at doing a soft yellow that picks up the gold in the granite. You could go retro and do a 6x6 ceramic, or do the glass bit in a horizontal linear look.

I know you are on a budget, but every house needs at least one splurge. So, what about mother of pearl tile?

I think it was your daughter who helped you post a picture of your house? After the cabinets and granite are installed, have her snap a picture and post for us. Your selection of white cabinets and St Cecilia is very popular and we will be able to explore all the options with you and there are many.
As you know, everything depends on the natural light and lighting that you have in your kitchen.
