Thanks, Nancy. I would like to use a quartz countertop for its durability ; however, I can't seem to find the right color. I agree with you and don't want to draw attention away from the sink. I appreciate your tip on the grout. Ann

I think white will make the floor disappear more and a contrast will give a bit of a retro vintage look - depends what you want. I would probably choose contrast because of the dirt issue and I like seeing the shape.

When I run a glass border or do a glass mosaic panel, I use clear or translucent caulk. It is very slow and tedious and really not recommended for large areas. You need to be sure the thinset has been cleared away from the joints. Then you try to fill the joints avoiding overflow but any excess caulk needs to be wiped away immediately. The faster you fill the joints the more likely you will get air pockets which lead to shrinkage. Before you try this do a test area to see if you like it. I keep the caulk low in the joint (not flush) so I can see the glass edges which maintains that "groutless" look. Clear caulk comes out white and cures to clear. Translucent comes out white and cures to a "frosted" look. Basically, it's a labor of love. My hat is off to the tiler who is willing to do this no matter what you pay him per hour.
