"I miss the steel backsplash" my mom said. My parents had gone and picked out samples (including the steel backsplash we both grew attached to) at another shop; we had them laying on our floor for a few days before we went back to Rona to check their selection out.
But alas, it wasn't to be. Steel cost at about three times the price of ceramic; it would've been about $20/ sq ft. The backsplash in question was to go from the corner by our fridge, all the way down one side of the kitchen, down the other wall; above the stove ending at a bulkhead. In short; it would've been too much money.
We picked the colour scheme out about a week ago. It's a sandy-coloured with flecks of grey in it to bring in the cabinets, and complement the darker counter top. The back splash is a glass tiles in a brick pattern with black, grey, and white. She wanted the "wow" factor, and I think the back splash gives it. But we still want to put some silver in the kitchen; we're thinking a silvery green or blue for the remaining wall.
The flooring will also go into one of two bathrooms upstairs to be matched with a really dark bathroom vanity.
