I agree, that doesn't look right... unless you're planning to add chunky framing around the window?

Did you discuss the window area with the tiler ahead of time? I agree it doesn't look right, but it might also look weird to take it up to just part of the window. Adding framing around the window would be the best solution.

Also, can you get smaller edge tile? The current one is popping out, distracting from the beautiful tile.

Sina... I think that is what it is, the edge tile is way too big and throwing it all off!

I hate the edge tile.I too find it overpowering. It was the only edger that was in the same marble tile system. Maybe I'll contact the tile store and see what suggestions they might have for a smaller edge tile

why not tile up to the top of the window?

Is that the top of the ceiling in the pic? Just tile all the way up.. no edge tile needed!

There's another window on top of the kitchen window and there's old fashion 80's soffet that we aren't moving. I've had to keep all the old 80's cabinets and we just had them painted out.

Hallet & Co - I'm not sure I understand. You mean not use an edger at all? Or look at a place called schluter to find an edger to match the tile?

I probably would have tiled the windowsill, but if the walls are painted to match the tile, it will not matter much. You will probably add a window treatment to the window, too. White grout or pale gray grout?

It's an edge trim, the color I posted is a brushed aluminum but it comes in lots of colors- white, off white, etc. Perfect in a situation like this as it just blends away. It just hides the cut edge of the tile.

felizlady - white grout. Walls will be BM Dove Wing.

Kitchen is finished. Thank you all for your advice. Unfortunately we couldn't change the edge trim due to the thickness of the marble backsplash but we did take it half way up the window and then painted BM Dove Wing. I think it turned out well. I learned a lot though so if I ever do this again - I will know more on do's and dont's.

Your solution works

Good call on the tile. It looks nice

Indeed your kitchen is beautiful. Congrats to the tile guy. Everybody is pleased! I like the dark cabinets a lot. Everything is contrasting. I still like the old school soffit above the cabinets. I know I am saying a dirty word, but who knows? Brass has come back in style. Maybe when everybody get tired of climbing a ladder to reach the top 2-3 shelves soffits will be “hot” in kitchen design. You are a trendsetter!
