Oh no that's horrible!

Just kidding. I think it looks perfect.

It's great! Seriously. I wouldnt' have responded if I thought it was terrible. (or I would have found a diplomatic way to tell you "Yikes! That's bad!")

fori, danielle -
Thanks! I so appreciate the positive feedback from fellow posters.

I love the backsplash tile. I tried for some combos of golden tan and gray myself. Have you chosen a grout color? Maybe that will help tie them better, too. I don't know if it will be right with yours, but Oyster Gray is actually a beigish color grout that we used with some tiles we have in our master bath that have both gray and beige.

Yup, it goes - but you had me worried with your description.

I think rhome is right and make sure you spend time choosing your grout colour carefully.

I agree with regard to the grout, go warm, in the creamy beige family and I think it should be great.

I think it is gorgeous! Grout will make a big difference too. Here's a good suggestion for you. Go buy several bags of grout in different color. They only cost around $10 each. Lay out pieces of scrap tile on a scrap of drywall or plywood and then grout them with your various colors. It makes settling on a final grout color SO much easier!

And remember to let them dry thoroughly before choosing. :-)

Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions. I picked out a grout color about 2 months ago when I first picked this tile. I can't remember what it was. I did talk to my GC this AM and he told me that he's picked up the grout and it's in my kitchen (I'm at work); so, I'm going to take a look at it tonight and if I don't think it's creamy/warm enough, he'll go pick up another color tomorrow AM.

I'll keep you posted.

Hmmm. . . having gotten home and taken a look the color on the picture of the grout mix, which by the way, is tec standard white, I'm not sure it's warm and beige enough. I've taken a picture of the bag, but I'm not sure you'll be able to see it. I'm going to post an SOS post, calling all grout experts . . .

How about also trying out a few accessories and whatever kitchen items you may plan to have out to get a more true look at it? I recently found a small serving platter in an antique store with a dark brown design on an aged white background that I think would look wonderful on your backsplash. I think all those harmonious but subtly different hues are going to come together to give your kitchen design a depth and sophistication that strict matchiness just can't.

I think your tile looks great. It never dawned on me how important the color of the grout is until you posted this question. I think I learn something everyday on this forum.
Also, can you tell me what your floor tile is--I love it.

Thanks, everyone. I'm taking a "mental health day" from work tomorrow and I'm going to head to the tile store in the search of a more beigy grout.

Maureen - thanks! My floor tile is travertine. I'll look up the name and re-post, but I believe it was called Crema something.
