Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

Posts Tagged ‘cabinets’

my cabinets are creamy white, not bright white. a couple more questions also…

my appliances are white, but would stainless look better, since they donut really match the white of the cabinets?

the floor is an older whitish with blue veining tile. We will be chancing this too, but what would look good.. a darker tile or stay lighter? Would a laminate wood floor look good>? I have seen some that look really good now a’days? thanks for any tips!

I have a 110 square foot kitchen and I am planning on remodeling. In a nutshell, this is what I am doing:

Demo of existing cabinets
Tiling of floor including kitchen backsplash
Installation of Ikea Cabinets
Installation of 3 outlets and increase electric to 20 amps
plaster ceiling imperfections
sanding ceiling and exposed walls
installation of microwave and dishwasher

Current contractor wants to do it for 00 and I feel its too much

That’s it in a nutshell. what would a fair quote be for that job in the nyc metro area? Thanks!

We are looking for suggestions for wall color and we aren’t afraid of color (liking the deep & luxurious family of colors by CIL), although we don’t know exactly what are our style is?? We are in a fairly new home with white baseboards and ceiling; the floors are a light oaky laminate. We have an open concept with our living room, dining room and kitchen, and all these rooms get a lot of sunlight. I attempted to attach a picture of these rooms as well, but was unable.
In the kitchen backsplash ideas, the cabinets are light oak as well and the coun

tertops are a lighter grey with some speckles. Our appliances are stainless steel. Our current kitchen table is a light pine (do you see the trend here?). Our living room furniture is a dark burgundy leather couch, sage green chaise and dark brown coffee/end tables.
We would like to have an accent wall (long wall connecting living to dining room) and we like either the Pepper Spice or Cigar brown by CIL. What would be a good color to use on other walls? Do you have any other color combination suggestions? Also, would it work if I used the accent wall color on the kitchen backsplash ideas as well?
thanks,

I would like to DEemphasize the pink hue that the cabinets have. I think that the dark green granite brings it out even more. We can’t afford to remodel but right now the backsplash is just white wall. I love glass tile – are there colors I can use to make the cabinets look more white rather than pink? Thanks!!!

We are buying a home! I really don’t know what to do with kitchen though! Kitchen has white and forest green tiles under the cabinets in between the countertops. The cabinets are a dark brown wood and the floor is a light tan tile. Countertops are a lighter/sage green laminate. White appliances The room is painted white. Please help me pick what color paint would go in there?!

The floor will be saltillo tiles, the cabinets light maple, the countertop blue tiles, and the appliances are white. I want to find a backsplash that will go well with different paint colors, so I have more freedom there, and for possible resale. Any suggestions?

I am a stay at home mom and I go to school full time, but I was in the army so my school is free and I get extra money and that covers all my books AND child care with a little extra left over. We own a house but were PCS’d with my husband and rented out our house. I really like upscale luxurious things and am not afraid to do it myself because well, we would barely be able to afford it other wise and can’t justify allocating that kind of money for stuff like tile backsplashes and hardwood floors and tiled showers, nice cabinets stuff like that. So I would like to gradually be able to do this stuff myself but know that it can be very tedious and possibly even close to impossible for someone who has zero experience. So how does one acquire this experince short of being taught by their father as a child as that door has long shut. Can I take classes? Follow professionals around? What can I do?

Over the years the sheet rock has started to deteriorate above the laminate kitchen counter. We had drought conditions for almost a decade but I use soaker hoses near the foundation during the summer. There is a window, a sink, and upper cupboards several feet to the left of the area. The paint/sheet rock aging has taken about 10 years to develop where the paint is peeling off near an outlet. About three years ago, one of the upper cabinets started to lower from the ceiling about half an inch gap between the ceiling and it. Since I have been un/under employed since 9/11 I don’t have the money to rip everything out and remodel or replace cabinetry so I need to determine what the problem is. I just recently got full time temporary employment but not to the point where I can afford remodeling.

Suddenly, about a week ago, the backsplash started moving away from the wall (not at the sink end) so that the silicone caulk is pulling away. It looks like the backsplash is leaning backwards at the end about 1/4 inch. I am not sure if it is the composite backsplash that is swelling, or if it is the foundation moving and pushing something. We had ants coming in through that area for the last ten years and I finally got them permanently stopped with some Combat ant gel. This is the first year we haven’t had those tiny ants. There are no water leaks. I am afraid that something is causing moisture since the area is so small (about 3 feet wide.) I need to call a professional in but I have no idea who to call for an estimate… foundation? carpenter? pest control?
Roofing: There are no leaks, and the ceiling is to wet. I had a roofer out (they all wanted money and signed contract before they would give me an estimate.)
Moisture: It appears to be either coming from inside the wall or it is the foundation moving. I know it is one of those two things.
