Help Backslpash Dilemma 2 Issues
13 years ago
I love the pieces to my backsplash but I'm not sure how to put them all together. The stainless tiles with the gray/black/tan counters seem a little boring. Add the gorgeous glass mosaics and its much better.
This is a small kitchen in the basement play area.
Issue #1 Where do I place the mosaics? Next to the countertop of halfway up the wall?
Issue #2 Where do I place the mosaic on the wall under the bar? Maybe 2/3 up the wall or maybe not at all?
Thanks for your suggestions in advance!

- 13 years agoI understand. I love the stainless even though it is a little matchy-matchy. I taped up two rows of the mosaics and I can already see the difference. One row is definitely not enough.

PRO13 years agoI'd have to agree with the stainless steel mosaic. It's a bit much, how about just a stainless steel sheet?

13 years ago- 13 years agoAll done! Thanks for the suggestions. I put only stainless on the bar area. Kept it simple on there - plus some of those glass tiles have sharp edges. On the backsplash I put a wider line of the black, gray and cracked glass mosaics. Also added a extra line of them above the sink. I used a lot of the stainless. Oh and this is not our main kitchen, this is in the fun basement play area. Thanks again for the help!
