| So... they arrived, conquered and left already. The grout is drying, which he said will take at least 12hours. Should I wait unitl it's dry to show all of you or show now, as is? |

| Not that it was a . . . well, silly question. But it does have me concerned considering the site you're posting on. I'm concerned that perhaps you tripped over the tools left around by the tiles guys and fell and hit your head and now have a concussion that renders you so completely unable to think clearly that you came on this site and asked if we wanted to see pictures of your kitchen. Are you okay???? Okay, I couldn't resist. Please post pictures!!! It is never wrong to post pictures of your kitchen. Never. Ever. |

| Ha!!!HA!!!Ha!!!POOHPUP!!!! YOU have me cracking up....I just wanted to tease you! I am downloading from camera rt now. Pix in just a few minutes. Please be honest. I want to know if I went too light with grout...I think. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| The color will be different after dried; it will probably lighten up some. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| oh, yeah, you went too light. You should get them back to fix it. Oh, there are no pictures yet. couldn't help it..... |

| Bee, maybe we should behave or she'll punish us and not post pictures. lol |

| You guys are the funniest! I feel like there needs to be a gardenweb convention so everyone can meet. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| Now that it's dry, it is looking better, but I'd keep the tile guy on speed dial for now... oh, wait, still no pictures |

| You guys are really quiet. I'm getting worried. |

| I saw the camera icon and came back! I really like it. The grout color matching the tile is great. What stands out is the way the light plays off of the tiles' directions. So the tile and the overall look stands out, not the grout. AND you got your pendants hung. They look great! Congrats! Bee |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?

| Thanks Bee---that's what I was hoping for! I wish I had a better camera. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| sooo pretty!! i like the grout you chose. makes the backsplash subtle and very elegant around your hood!! |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?

| Lovely! You can tell there is a lot of haze on the tile so it is only going to get even better. I can tell that the camera isn't doing it justice. I was so focused on the tile that didn't even notice you didn't have your counters yet! What are you doing on your counters?? I'd have tiled all my kitchen walls if I could have. *sigh* |

| It's beautiful. Don't make the grout darker because the way the light plays off of the tile shows the tile off and that's the star. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
A-MA-ZING! Absolutely beautiful.
Tile envy. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?

| :) so happy, so happy pooh---counters come tomorrow morning! Caesarstone Organic White on island Caesarstone Pebble on range wall counters. It's like Christmas, New Years and My Birthday around here! |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| annsch, so happy that you're so thrilled and having such a good day! And here I was so worried that you'd fallen down and hit your head. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?

| Gorgeous! I am a huge fan of blending the grout color with the tile, so to me, yours looks perfect! Love the design, and it looks like they did a terrific job installing it. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| Love the tile and the pattern. I know what you mean about not being able to get pictures that show tile at its best. It looks great even if the pictures aren't doing it justice. Can't wait to see it with the countertops. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| I love it and can't wait to see the finished kitchen! You've probably posted it elsewhere, but what color are your cabinets? |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?

| Amazeballs. I.want.your.kitchen. I am never here anymore, it's a bit chaotic with the 3 little ones. But, I had to sign in and gush. Please post photos when the counters go in. I was so close to doing Pebble perimeters. I know I'm going to have a regret ish Friday..... Cheers,

Gorgeous tile.
Gorgeous kitchen and the tile installers did beautiful work.
Hope you will post the counters very soon. |

| chris11895---yes i have, they are BM Timid White. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?

| OK. I'm bored of subways. I generally think same-colored grout is timid. Herringbone is so done. However--yours looks great. The reason is that you took a subtle texture and made a big impact with it--using the herringbone everywhere, including over the cabs. To me, if someone wants subtle, they still have to go big with something, as you've done. And the full-wall look is very clean. Congrats! |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?

| Beautiful! I'm absolutely loving the herringbone. In what sort of style and/or era of house/decor/architecture does a herringbone backsplash style work? I'm loving your backspash so much, but I'm afraid my home might not be quite traditional enough. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| Just a bit of info---the tile is 2x4 and not the standard 3x6. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| It turned out beautifully! Thanks for sharing the pictures right away so that we didn't have to wait to see how gorgeous it is. |

| Oh it's beautiful Annsch! I love the herringbone, it adds so much interest, so amazingly well put together. I bet you are counting down the hours now. Wish we had a GW countdown clock! Can't wait to see it after the counters go in tomorrow.
Congrats! |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| So subtle and striking at the same time. I love it! I think the 2x4 size makes a big difference. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| Looks so lovely! Can't wait to see the counters go in. I am considering Pebble as well! :) |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| Perfect, perfect, perfect :-) You will love how the light plays off the tile. Can't wait to see it all finished. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| It is lovely! I am seriously considering the herringbone pattern for a backsplash now. |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| beautiful! i love the herringbone pattern vs traditional subway pattern! great choice! |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| WOW! Your backsplash is so pretty. If we hadn't DIY'd, then I would've loved something like yours. |

| counter pics?? I love the herringbone - and really love that you went all the way up the wall. Oh Oh Oh!!! |
RE: grout drying---should I wait to post pix of finished bs?
| | |
| Wonderful! And I agree, taking the tile up and all over...it makes your kitchen. Simple tile, great pattern, beautiful statement. Love it! |
