Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

Posts Tagged ‘counter top’

My parents had our kitchen entirely remodeled and the total cost was over ,000, but they didn’t get what they paid for. With the original plan it should have been done in a week.The cabinets sat in our garage for over a month and it took them another 2 months to install everything. First they cut the cabinets to short, then the electrician had to come back 3 times because he didn’t do his job right. Now the cabinets are raised up on blocks of wood. The counter top had to be ripped off, which makes its integrity now questionable. And the backsplash was cut incorrectly so now there are large gaps where you can see the wall.

Pretty much everything is wrong. My parents lost wages because the company messed up the scheduling so my parents had to stay home alot. They offered 0 in store credit & my dad was insulted.

Could they sue? They didn’t get the kitchen they wanted at all.
What makes them really upset is that my grandparents gave them the money to do this as a gift and now our kitchen is totally destroyed. The company would never get back to them, update them, and my parents had to pay out of pocket costs because the COMPANY made installation mistakes!

Ok, first of all I have a small kitchen and a small budget. My house is very old and the last time the kitchen was remodeled looks like some time in the 50-60s. I just bought stainless steel appliances for the kitchen, to replace the non-working olive green 70s era ones, so there is like no money left. The cabnets are painted white, which are fine for now. The counter top is white with pink flake in the design, eww! The backsplash is all bright pink tiles. The walls are yellow. Since it will be a few years before I can remodel, and this is my first home, I would like any suggestion of a masculine color to paint the wall the would maybe make it not so bad. I was thinking a chocolate brown? Any inputs? A gallon of paint has got to be better than this ugly color scheme. Thanks for any help

My husband and I just bought a new place. This is not a forever home, just somewhere we will be living for the next 2-4 years so we’re trying to keep personal preferences out of it and would like for it to appeal to the masses when we go to sell. I’ve looked at color visualizers, paint swatches, and am a little lost.

Here is the front of the room (this picture was take from the kitchen).

I have already painted the stone fireplace bright white and will be changing the ceiling fan to something a little more streamline.

Here is the back of the room (kitchen- ignore the furniture.. it is not ours):

all the colors sort of need to work together.We are currently putting up a backsplash in the kitchen that will cover the full left wall and behind the stove/counter top. http://www.glasstilestore.com/TUSCANY-PATTERN-SUPER-WHITE-GLASS-TILE-p/tuscanysuperwhite.htm it mimics the fireplace stone. The hardware on the cabinets is also changing ( http://images.bedbathandbeyond.com/assets/product_images/380/120089120826C.JPG )

We have this couch:

And this coffee table:

and a black dining table for the main room.

We plan on tearing down the mantel and replacing it with a plasma tv (we will sell the tv with the place)

Any suggestions? Specifics would be helpful.. we were thinking about gray- but I like darker gray and would be afraid it would look so drab and boring. Thanks!

I want to add a glass tile mosaic backsplash to my kitchen something like this color but hopefully with a little more greens and reds……

I painted my walls a gold but now hate it and am trying to find a good color to replace it. I have painted two test spots with Benjamin Moore paints Nantucket Gray and Olive Branch. Neither of them is making me go "Oh thats it". My whole living and dining room area is painted Bassett Hall Gold from Porter Paints (which is a deep kahaki color) so I am trying to stay away from beiges. I am eventually going to get dark cabinets and a beigey countertop if this helps. Any suggestions would be great!
My kitchen started off a pale yellow, but because we have a big window in the kitchen it was almost blinding when the sun would shine in….Also I am trying not to go too dark as I am afraid it will look much like a dungeon once I get the dark cabinets in. The paint color Olive Branch I have up is like a sage green….but I keep feeling like I SHOULD go darker….but again am afraid it will be too dark with the cabinets.
