grumpy · 11-13-2011, 11:02 AM

i prefer the second one

ottopottomouse · 11-13-2011, 11:44 AM

Wood .

Shotsie · 11-13-2011, 11:46 AM

I would go with the granite backsplash. A lot easier to clean than tile grout.

L-Pink · 11-13-2011, 11:49 AM

I can't imagine granite with a tile back splash going well together.

You have a granite counter, then a back splash, then whatever type of wall covering. I'm having a hard time imagining tile visually fitting in there between the two.

We are almost done with our new kitchen. This was about a week ago.
We built the stainless island at our fab shop. We did quartz countertops with an Italian tile backsplash. We are waiting for the new cabinet doors,and the backsplash is going up this week. Did all Viking appliances.

Ok, you'd go with an expensive counter top such as granite and then cheap out with some glass tile backsplash? Puke.

It could be nice given the right lighting and colors.

Mr Pheer · 11-13-2011, 06:38 PM

I'd prefer a brushed stainless steel backdrop, but I like a more industrial appearance. Depends on what color your counter tops and the rest of the kitchen are.

Lace, I think you were picturing a 6" row of tile around the counter like I was. The entire wall covered like Dvae posted is pretty cool. IMO

I think glass tile is some of the most expensive tile you can get. I don't care for the looks of it though.

alias · 11-13-2011, 07:02 PM

Tile looks like shit next to nice stone.

Although natural stone such as sandstone is the worst thing you can use for a backsplash.

alias · 11-13-2011, 07:27 PM

The protruding stones looks cool but could be a real mess if it got food on it. Wouldn't something smooth be nice and clean:

You've got me there. My wife wants that stupid looking blue glass tile backsplash at homedepot or lowes. The stuff Dvae posted actually looks nice.

qwe · 11-13-2011, 08:52 PM

Im leaning towards granite everything, but its hard to imagine how its ganna look

My house was a model for the community, and when we bought it the kitchen was all granite. I never really gave it much thought, but I like it. Very easy to clean.

Slate > Granite.

Eric · 11-14-2011, 02:59 PM

We personally saw both and ended up with the granite top and tile backsplash. Happy we did too.

You don't ever have to clean a backsplash unless you decide to have a crazy food fight and decide to throw all kinds of food against your walls.

I wouldn't exactly call glass cheap. Its quite a bit more expensive than ceramic. And while I did vote for granite on the back splash (mostly due to the ease of keeping it clean especially behind the range) Ceramic and glass offers much more design choice than granite does. But you have to contend with those pesky grout lines that seem to soak up everything that gets away from you on the stove ie. Tomato Sauce, or deglazing a pan with red wine.

SexSearchSuzanne · 11-14-2011, 04:52 PM

I think the colors mean more than the actual material of the countertop/backsplash ... as long as the colors suit each other you can mix materials. Personally, I'm a fan of the brushed aluminum tiles for a backsplash (the actual tiles not the peel-and-stick ones or the plastic panels) ... and I'm not someone who likes the industrial look. I'm thinking the brushed silver works with an existing (even not so great colored) countertop and is neutral enough to leave the paint color options open.

Minte · 11-14-2011, 04:57 PM

The fellows are making progress..wall and microwave ovens are up and running and the countertops are on.

So then why are you doing it ass backwards?
You said "making progress..wall and microwave ovens are up and running and the countertops are on."

Matt 26z · 11-14-2011, 07:25 PM

Just don't do anything too trendy or you'll want to update it in five years. What looks amazing today will soon be "so 2011." Go timeless with trendy accents. You can't go wrong there.
