I prefer granite on the dark side, while my husband likes colors in the mid-tone brown/tan range. We both like bursts of accent colors (blue, red, green) in the granite, preferrably all three.

I don’t plan to tear out the tiles. All the cabinets/walls are currently white, but I plan to paint and am not afraid of color. My style is the shabby chic look. Any ideas on decorating without being too cutesy but WITHOUT tearing out the tiles? Thank you both! Funny – I fooled around with [...]

What options would look good? My cabinets are off white cream color and we have terra cotta tile backsplash with granite looking [...]

I am wanting to redo our kitchen, but we are on a tight budget and we have everything worked out except the backsplash which is an ugly white and cranberry color. I would just remove the tiles, but they were laid down before the cabinets were installed so they go up behind them. I am [...]
