What did you use for the backsplash? Size?

11 years ago

Love this kitchen! Any information you could give about the make, size, and grout would be greatly appreciated. If you have the distributer that would be great too!
Thank you.

jjs2009,

Thanks for the compliment. These marble tiles were 4"x12". Probably the most cost effective way to get this size is to buy 12x12" and have your installer cut them down.

The marble here is similar to Carrara or other white marbles but this one is different being mined in China. Some tile shops call it "Arabescato Carrara". It has quite a bit of brown in it which helps give it more warmth than the typically very gray and cold carrara.
