If you've got the material, you'd be crazy to not use it as splash.

Thanks all! I've shown your replies to my husband and we've decided to go with the Taj for the splash too! Appreciate your help!

that is going to be beautiful, make sure you come back and show us a picture of your kitchen when it's finished!!

Now that we're set on Taj for the splash, our contractor called to say that we don't have enough. We need approx 2/5 of a slab and we would have a couple of joints at the back of the cooktop. We've called around to check if there's someone that could sell per sq ft but the one that we've found doesn't match our color. So we have 3 options; 1) buy a full slab - this also means no joints/seams 2) do all the splash in subway tiles 3) the last one is a mix of taj and subway. The price difference is about 2k between 1 and 2. Torn!

IF you can afford it, I would do all TM. If not, all subway or other tile design.

Hi V JT,

Can you share a picture of the final result? Your "before" pic looks just like our kitchen- and I want to change the countertop to TM. Please share! I'm excited to see.

Photos of the finished product, please!

Here is what was suggested by salesperson to me, and I absolutely love how the backsplash looks with the Taj.

I have done granite for counters and backsplash twice, but the granite slabs have been sequential cuts from the quarry. Even then, there are minor differences. You may not be able to get a third slab from the same quarry, so I would do the backsplash in subway tile matching one of the lighter colors in your counter material. I do feel that subway tile is becoming commonplace and ordinary. A different shape tile may work if the color matches a counter color, and I would use matching grout.

I love the finished product! What backsplash did you use? I'm having a problem finding one that goes with my Taj Mahal that ended up being more gray than beige.

My clients decided to go all Taj. There are photos in my profile.

Any photos, V JT?
