Mountain theme back splash

13 years ago

Looking to replace dumb 6" tile backsplash in our small mountain kitchen and would like animal theme tiles, maybe copper? Found a lovely tile set Motawi Tileworks mountain scene/ polychrome, saw Ann Sacks monochrome animal tiles, haven't found any others. Is copper nuts for a backsplash?

Metal can look great as a bask-splash. Can you take some pictures of the space so we can offer some more exact advice? Also share the links of the products you are considering so we can comment on those as well.

Thanks for responding. Here's the Motawi: https://www.motawi.com/store/scenic (not sure how to post links) and I saw these copper images: (url was so long I made it tiny) http://tinyurl.com/qcb3auc

I'm an artist and wasn't entirely charmed by copper images.

I'll have to clean the kitchen before I take a picture! (One reason I thought I might not be best person for a copper backsplash!) It's just a simple sink-woodcounter-blue star stove, no more than 24 tiles.

okay, I photoshopped the new tile in and include a before and after. Kind of convinced me, what do you think?

Are you wanting to leave it at that height or take it to the bottom of the window?

No, it's an 80's kitchen that's slowly been improved on but is still very basic cabin style.
