My backsplash is done! Pics!!

14 years ago

Hello,

I want to thank all of you for your suggestions and comments that you made to my "need backsplash help!" posts. I listened, and while I am sure that some will not care for my splash at all, I adore it! It is unique, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. These pics were taken with my iphone, plus they were taken at night. The splash is hard to photograph well but hopefully you'll get the idea with these pics.

    Not my style at all, but that doesn't matter an iota. You love it, and it looks good! And it's done! That's most important. Congrats!

    Looks great! It is your space so you should design it for yourself. If you love it then you couldn't have picked a better splash! Thanks for sharing the finished product.

    Beautiful! I love your color combos.

    very pretty!

    Cool!!! Sharp, contemporary, and I love how it links the colors of your island to the perimeter.

  • 14 years ago

    I like it too! It ties everything together.

    It's beautiful! I love how it reflects on your counters. Very creative!

    Wow, that is quite a change from your previous backsplash! I think it makes your space look much more contemporary.I'm a fan of contemporary so I love it. I like the way the colors in the mosaic accent tie in with the cabinets, the wall color and island granite. The kitchen has more pizazz now. Great job.

    Of course I love it! It coordinates beautifully with your granite on the island and both are enhanced by the synergy.

    I love the wall color too with the other elements. It is a wild green and is right up my alley ;)

    The entire package is classy and jazzy!

    Even if you don't like the modern look, you have to admire your backsplash. It goes perfectly in your space! I love it!

    Very cool. I love the way the "knobbliness" of the glass tiles recapitulates the knobbliness of the glass in your cabinet. Nice job!

    Amazing. I love it.

  • 14 years ago

    Wow, it really makes a huge difference in the room! Love it!

    Very cool and unique! I love the color combos you used and the linear elements! And the reflection in the black granite is so pretty! I had to look twice just to see where the backsplash ended and counters began. Enjoy it!

    Striking!
    And the reflection on the countertop, even better.
    Great job.

    So glamorous!
    I love it. Love it! :)
    Great job.

    pretty and fun! Love it!

    Thank you all so much!!!! The words you are using to describe my splash are exactly what I was hoping to accomplish! I'm usually pretty bold in my style, but I still struggled a little going with black. I'm so glad that I did! The reflection was a nice surprise, I had wanted a honed finish, but compromised with dh on that and went with the polished. Surprisingly, I love the reflection of the glass tiles on the counter!

    Congrats! Now it's time to enjoy your hard work.

    I like this much better than the light neutral direction you were considering at first.

    The black is very strong but it is still a neutral in that it did not add another color, and from a distance there is just enough "reading" of a white in the accent that the white trim around the window, etc. is acknowledged too.

    Loved the color combo. Very Nice!

    Thanks to Susan for bumping this back up. Somehow on my first look, I missed how the little mosaics with the green pick up the island granite. Nice job!

    Thanks Breezy! We are loving it!
