My faaabulous backsplash is in. In case you missed the drama, I was fretting endlessly over what to do with my backsplash. Then megpie sent me a link to a beveled arabesque tile, which I liked. After looking at the tile online, I realized that the company, Mission Stone & Tile, was having a contest. I entered my kitchen's photos and a few weeks later, I received an email that my kitchen was chosen. The tile was awarded in exchange for "after" photos so that they could use them on their website.
This was the big weekend for installation. It was not as easy as we thought it would be. A friend who installs tile ran the show while my husband and I offered any assistance we could. We worked from 10 am Saturday to 12:30 am Sunday. (We stopped due to not wanting to alienate the neighbors--the tile saw was loud). Started again on Sunday morning and finished around 4:30 pm. Very long installation.
We decided to end the tile about an inch below the hood. It looks great. Here are some early photos, the switches are not hooked up yet, but you get the idea.
Thank you to everybody who helped me out with so many of our decisions regarding this tile, so without further delay I would like to present to you....Beveled Arabesque Tile:
