I'd do it like this

or this one. take the tile all the way up.

bring in some nice wood shelves (you can make them yourself for less than $20.

if you can remove the 'span' trim piece, I'd do that.

add a sconce too

awesome thanks!
you helped me pick the tiles and I'm and loving the look.

found these other ones.

bring in some nice wood shelves (you can make them yourself for less than $20.

if you can remove the 'span' trim piece, I'd do that.

add a sconce too

you could do brackets. I'd still take the tile all the way ups

Love this one. super cute. simple oak shelves. you can float them. if you can wire that spot for a sconce before tiling, great!

tile looks great!

thank you so much! love all of them..

maybe darker shelves, like walnut, would be a nice contrast. I like the black sconce though

or, see if you can hang a little mini pendant from the soffit. (but the sconce would be better if you can swing it. plus, you get some extra light over that sink)

This one is tiny. only 4" !! would look cute w/the wood shelving

that looks phenomal, didnt even know that was mine at first!
