Beautiful Backsplashes:Links to BreathTaking Pictures & Resources

Posted by cupofkindness (My Page) on Mon, Jun 21, 04 at 20:25

This thread is to provide links or in-text pictures of backsplashes that, unlike the other backsplash thread in the Gallery, are not a forum member's own backsplash. It is also to provide links/pictures to inspiring manufacturers and designers, tiles, stones, metals, glass and other materials that are backsplash elements. Please limit "conversations" about various links to the "Discussions" section of the Kitchen Forum so that this thread can be a resources list only. Please, please post any completed backsplashes or materials that you have come across as you have worked on your own backsplash. Let's start this thread with the gorgeous red tile backsplash that Sharon G found for me on a "Discussions" side of the Kitchen Forum. Thank you!

Sharon:
That WZ backsplash tile is so richly textured. The muted colors are stunning. Is it four colors or five? I love it. It's very calming, but without being boring. What a great choice. Here's another link. This is Meredith Tile and shows some of their glazes. Lots of lovely whites and creams. Plus crackles.

Here is a clean, classic look. This links to the Kohler ad that uses white subways and a white Corian-type countertop. The grout is nice and wide, so the backsplash/wall takes on a brick and mortar look.

In April I started a thread about subway tile. That thread fell of the "Discussions" side of the Fourm today, so I'm trying to save the links while I can still access that cached thread. Here's another dazzling tile source in the UK. They have a service called "Welbeck Words" and will custom mold text into what appear to be subway-type tiles.

Yet another rescued link to Meredith Tile's Irongate Tile. I love this backsplash because the framed area above the range is so lovely. The molding tile and square embossed tiles are pretty and the 2" corresponding accent tiles give you some design flexibility.

I love those Ann Sacks tiles! One inspired me, the diagonal pale green ones with the inset square dots. Femmelady, what a breath-taking backsplash. Thanks for posting the decorative metal tiles and the onyx! Where can I see your whole kitchen? And lowspark, I nearly went to 12" tiles on the diagonal after I saw that backsplash. Grapes are so classic. You'll never run out of accessories and accent pieces with a grape theme. And if you run out, all you have to is go and buy a bottle of wine (or just grapes!). Gorgeous!

Here is a link to a faux tile Corian backsplash. I am eternally in love with blue and white in the crisp look of this kitchen. The countertops are "Mediterranean." My mother talked me out of that blue Corian color (I have Vanilla instead), but it will always be the one that gets my heart pumping! I also appreciate the practicality of the mini-backsplash in the countertop color. Lifting the main backsplash design up an inch or two is a good idea to keep things a little cleaner.

I'm having some difficulty linking to the web page displaying a set of lovely blue tiles I've found. I'll keep trying to link the image. These tiles are classic blue and white floral ones from England. Sort of a blue willow look without the chinese elements.

I did find a website for the glass border - they have some beautiful stuff. I'm glad I didn't find this site before I ordered my border because I would have really driven myself nuts figuring out what I wanted. Luckily, the tile store had just what I wanted already made up as a sample.

Cupofkindness--
I love your style! Everything you like seems to resonate with me. I'm the original Welbeck tile-lover, and you surprised me with the link you provided for Blue Bell Kitchens--that's who is doing my kitchen! The Welbecks were just too expensive for me--I'm going with white subways with a framed herringbone area above the AGA. The frame may have a little egg-and-dart detail, but I haven't made the final selection yet, as the tile person has gone on vacation for 2 wks. I still covet the Welbeck words, but I broke the bank on cabinets, the AGA, and the soapstone.

Here's a picture of our backsplash. It is Bologna Green tumbled slate/quartzite. The mosaic is composed of 1x2 tiles. The accent rails are pewter. The countertop is Verde Butterfly. It's simple, but it's a small kitchen and I think it fits nicely. Good luck. :-)

Your friend's kitchen??? Wow! I don't remember where I found that picture! I think it was a part of a designers website for glass mosaic backsplash tiles. I'm sorry!

groschuni:

Your backsplash is so vibrant and so unique. Plus beautiful. It's one of my favorites. You have a great sense of design. Congratulations on a stunning backsplash. Thanks for posting the picture here. BTW, great crocodile! (Or is it an alligator?)

toomuchremodeling:

Talley Sue was researching a plate glass backsplash. You might search on her name. And I think she has a thread going on the "Organizing the Home" forum. If you find any resources, would you mind posting them on this thread? Thanks!

At Cup's request, here is a link to my finished kitchen.

My backsplash is a Eurosplash -- in the European style it goes from countertop to ceiling. It's composed of Ann Sacks Sur La Mer 4 x 4" glazed handmade Mexican tiles in 4 colors: azure (blue), oyster (white), ochre (yellow), and foam (grey). There is a bullnose piece with 1 rounded edge used for the exposed side.

These are handmade tiles and while they measure 4 x 4, they are irregular and actually measure about 4-3/8" each. So we added far too much overage and ended up with almost double the amount of tile we needed (it's in my basement and I will either use it or sell it on ebay).

I created a pattern so the repeats of the colors wouldn't form optical patterns and drive me crazy. But the tilesettle had a difficult time creating the pattern due to the irregularity of the tiles. Many were trimmed and beveled to look whole but they were not!

I sealed the grout with Aquamix 511 sealer and so far, even spaghetti sauce wipes right off. Glazed tiles clean beautifully with windex and nothing sticks or penetrates.

Gail:
Your backsplash is a masterpiece. When I look at the range backsplash, based on the pictures, the harlequin tile appears to be woven. Wow! Thank you for posting the link.

Jane:

How smart to create a wall that appears random to avoid an optical pattern. I adore your backsplash. It's clean looking and I love the squares of color. That's the best way I can say it. Thanks to you as well for posting your backsplash.

Cupofkindness, thanks so much for starting this thread. What stunning backsplashes! So much inspration. For my kitchen I fell in love with the Welbeck word sample. I have found a site that has some great fonts for word stencils and I'm considering that option.

Who knows how many more times I'll change my mind!

Forgive me if this site is a repeat, as there are so many great ones listed above. When I was looking for Craftsman style photos I found a really cool site and fell in love with the loon backsplash.

Someone asked me a while back to post my backsplash....I totally forgot, plus I don't have a good pic of it yet. But here you go for now.

Many thanks to all who have posted pictures. And if you see that this thread is about to scroll off, please bump it up, with a link to a backsplash if possible, so this information isn't lost.

Here's a link to a company that makes fabulous tiles.

Gotta add this link to Maestro Mosaics. They have tiles mainly, some backsplash photos, but the stone and glass mosaics are the things backsplash dreams are made of.

These pictures don't show the crackled glass that well, but it's really pretty. After waiting over a year for my backsplash, I just smile whenever I walk in my kitchen.

peachdragon - this is a beautiful backsplash! Please post another pic after you've grouted, it's amazing how much difference grout makes and I bet it will be even prettier. Hey, is that the omnipotent miracle cloth I see there? :)

The April 2005 Sunset Magazine has a page on handmade tiles that I started to look at; thought this link may be interesting to browse

Someone asked me to post a picture of my backsplash awhile ago, but couldn't find the thread at the time. These are Ken Mason Tiles

Here's a link to my webshots, scroll down to bottom of page to see the backsplash featured on page 112 of July/August BHG Kitchens. The backsplash is "Italianate rowhouses" composed by Victoria Hamman. The pictures are labeled BHG backsplash, BHG2 and bhg4. I don't know who produces the actual tiles. Sorry the pictures aren't any better, but you can get the idea.

This is in my webshots page under Favorite House Ideas. I have absolutely no idea where I got this photo from, possibly from a Gardenwebbers' post. Anyway, I think it's beautiful.

Here's another source I found in my search for 'round' tiles. The cobalt floor with frogs/lily pads is gorgeous!! This site has MANY unique tiles.

Here is an example of IKEA accessories that can be mounted on the backsplash. Several others manufacture backsplash rail systems that allow the open storage of kitchen utensils, spices, knives, paper towels, etc.

Please tell me who had the backsplash that had fall leaves cascading down the wall. I think it was Sweeby, but I'm not sure. I couldn't get the picture to open. That is my inspiration backsplash and I can't find it!

Funny you should ask right before I visited this thread for the first time in ages! -- Yup, it was me. The bar's not completely done, but you can see the splash.

And Here's our kitchen splash -- Walker Zanger Gramercy Park crackle subways in Bone China, Sommerset handpainted liner, and Base molding set upside-down.

Does anybody have a saved copy of "the other backsplash thread in the Gallery"... the one with forum members' own backsplashes? I'd like to add it to the Finished Kitchens blog. (Many folks have recently requested more info on backsplashes.)

If we can't find it, is anyone willing to start a new thread?

Here is an incredible mirrored backsplash behind a cooktop:

Starpooh: I think some have posted their backsplashes here, but it would be a good idea to start an new thread as well. Thanks!
