Granite and Backsplash Combination - Westchester NY
Debbie Thanks again for great information. I always like to repost and share your ideas so that my colleagues can take advantage of them as well. It's always my pleasure. Hope to see you soon. Perhaps you are attending the conference this week.
This morning's customer was looking for a granite countertop and backsplash combo for her home in Westchester County - fun design work for me. There seem to be a lot out there who want to spruce up their homes by making modest changes. The cabinets are usually the most expensive part of the kitchen, and if they are in good condition, it makes it easy to upgrade your kitchen without spending a fortune.
Her cabinets are similar to her floors - butterscotch oak. And, she has 2 tones of warm browns on the walls. She wanted a light creamy granite that would tie the tones together (as well as give her flexibility for the future when she is hoping to stain the hardwood floors a dark brown.
I found her this Santa Cecilia granite which seems to do the trick. The color in this picture isn't giving the full effect, but it does have some yellows/golds that gives it more warmth and ties in with the cabinets and floors.
From there, we went on to the backsplash. She wanted natural stone w/ some warmth but a bit darker than the granite. I have the stone in mind that I have to find on Monday/Tuesday, but we found one that is close and works great color-wise. We then wanted to jazz it up a bit, so I found a random interlocking mosaic - a combo of glass and natural stone...and it goes PERFECTLY. The top row will have 4 x 4 tile and the bottom 3 rows 4 x 4 in a brick lay. Here is a "simulation of the look/pattern" - not 100% color correct and it's done on power point, but hopefully, you can imagine what this combo will look like when it's professionally installed. I can't wait to have the after pictures on this one.
