A different take on white subway tile

11 years ago

We wanted some texture and a bit of shine for our backsplash, yet wanted to keep it white. The tile is a cobblestone glass by Bellavita. We ended the backsplash on this run under the cabinets and used a Schluter edge in white. The picture quality is not very good and we are changing out the outlet covers as of today, yet it turned out just lovely.

That's cool! I think I like the soapstone even better. :)

Nice change of texture without introducing a new color!

P.S. What outlet covers are you going to use instead? Pic?

Susannesl, we are just going with something a bit more linear. The covers on now have rounded corners and just look a bit off, at least to my eye. They will be white covers.

Ah, yes, the ABB club! Just some floor base trim and a light over the sink, then we will be finished. :)
