Backsplash questions and pics

15 years ago

I was trying to go for a pottery barn/transitional sort of look, and things are feeling very Southwestern-ish to me. We just re-painted with BM Bleeker Beige, after the interactive cream color that the paint center color person recommended looked way to peachy, it was really a pretty color, but the peach make it look very Southwestern-ish to me. The Bleeker Beige has more gray, which looks at least a little more pottery-barn-ish to me.

I fell in love with these little glass backsplash tiles long before we started our kitchen remodel, and with grout, they don't look as gold, but more iridescent and pearly. I just don't know if they will work, and I would like to have them going all the way up to the base of the cabinets, but again, not sure about it. I would also love to incorporate a little blue somehow, but not sure that it would work. Can anyone give me some ideas or advice? The wall directly across the room from the kitchen is a family room wall with a fireplace, and I painted just the wall with the fireplace BM Seapine, which is a gorgeous gray-blue.

My kitchen is going to have very similar colors. What color are your granite and cabinets? My back splash is similar in color but we are using glass subway tile. I am also using Bleeker beige. I incorporated a little bit of red into my color scheme with a red kenmore pro oven but my other appliances are ss.

Is the wall bleeker beige? I assume that the final cabinets and granite are pictured. If that's the case, then I think it might be a good idea to use a grayish grout to tie in with the counters a little better.

looks like you actually have onyx mosaics which are awesome!! i like the blue incorporation idea...mosaics all the way from countertop to cabinet bottom is totally a great look, you could add in the blue you are looking for with a glass pencil liner in the color that matches your blue grey paint...
or conversely a few rows of off-set subways...or set the subways on vertical and do a single row of off set for an amazing visual...looks like the color kinetic khaki (gr09) matches your paint

Jrrose, my cabinets are maple stained nectar (medium-dark color) with an espresso glaze. The quartz is hanstone odyssey, which is black with some beige and a little silver. I found the absolute perfect glass tiles today with the help of a tile design person, and if I could figure out how to post pics right in the message, I would post them!!!! The accent tiles are smokey blue grey, tan, and a greenish gray, and there will be larger rectangular tiles in a color called "sand", that is very close to the bleeker beige wall color. I'm so excited!!!

Mcmjilly, yes, the walls are bleeker beige!
