Stop at end of cabinets unless you feel like tiling that spot right down to floor.

I agree. It looks really weird hanging over the edge there. There may be trim pieces available to end the run.

Keep it to the door and take it down to the floor. My tiler suggested it and I love it!

Down to floor is best bet. Since the upper cabinet is not as wide as countertop.

Does you counter extend beyond the cabinet or is it an illusion? If they are even I would end at the edge of cabinet and counter- otherwise the only way to keep the awkwardness away would be to take it to the floor which would be my last resort!

The backsplash should stop where the countertop and cabinet does.

Wow. Thanks so much everyone for the quick response. Yes, the granite extends a little beyond the cabinets by less than an inch. (Upper and lower cabinets are even - granite has a slight overhang.) One more problem: I don't have enough tile to go to the floor! UGH - it took five weeks to order. Thanks again...

Good luck, jsbkelley, get those tiles ordered!!! ;)

Stop at the end of the counter and use mitered edge pencil molding to turn into the cabinet for that 1" space a 90 degree corner. Not a good explanation but I hope you can understand what I'm having trouble explaining.

jsbkelley, how did your tile turn out? Do you have any pics?

Hi there. I ordered some bullnose pieces that just arrived. So I was just rereading your comment... I don't have a 90 degree corner piece though. I hope it will look ok. Do you think the bullnose will do the trick?

I would either stop at the cabinets or run it to the floor like Margo Corpening ASOHK suggested. What does it look like where the tile ends on the other side of the kitchen?

It ends at a cabinet (see pic).

I agree tile to door and down to floor. It gives a nice clean finished look to the installation.

Go to the end of the cabinetry and countertops. It wouldn't make sense to go to the door. You'd have to tile to the flooring to make it look symmetrical and it probably still wouldn't look right.

Hope this helps!

Can't wait to see your final photo!

Isn't tiling to the floor a moot point? I don't think that would look right either.

Definitely to the edge of the upper cabinets! Why did the installer even think this was acceptable?

Widen the door casings to the edge of the counter/ backsplash, they are dated and could be wider.

I agree with widening the casing on the door, but this could become quite expensive as you recase the openings in the entire room. Additionally, if the door casings are made wider, then you may need to address the base mouldings to keep them proportional to the new wider casings. I have done several remodels that involved recasing and rebasing the entire house and this can get quite expensive. Materials can run around $2.00 a linear foot for larger format materials then the install costs, painting costs and of course the time to install.
