Well, I see a different issue then you are talking about that bothers me way more.

Maybe the tile should have been done before the wood shelf installed?

See how next to the cabinets, one side has cut pieces that are a little bit longer then the other side? The longer sides being on the left, shorter on right.

I noticed below the shelf has the longer cuts on the left side. Now see how above the shelf it has the shorter cuts on the left? Shouldn’t they have been the longer cuts so it matched?

Here I flipped just the top portion above the shelf so that now all the shorter cuts are on the right.

Sorry, hope that makes sense! Full discloser, I am super nit-picky and patterns that are even slightly off drive me a little crazy. 😬

I can't see anything wrong from a distance, looks fine.

@rebunky but now we can’t unsee that!!! the rest of us would not have noticed lol.

That mismatch would keep me awake at night. If this were my house, I’d have that redone. To someone’s point though, not everyone will notice, especially if you put things on the shelf.
