I am redoing the counter tops in the kitchen with 6 x 6 tiles. To get the most use of the tiles with the least amount of cutting, I did on each side of the stove first starting in a corner. This gave me full tiles and ending with about a half tile on each side of the stove.
I was the going to do the back splash with the intensions of meeting behind the stove. Naturally, the tiles don’t fall right, so now I’m stuck on what to do to make it look right. I suggested putting a solid piece of stainless steel or copper or getting a solid piece of slate to match the tiles. None of those ideas went over good. The wife wants to use 12 x 12 tiles, but I can’t get it to work right without some cutting or wider grout lines, which I don’t think will look good. The area I want to cover is numbered in the photo. No. 1 extends out past the stove just a little and No. 2 is just the width of the range hood.
We went out to eat the other night and the walls were wainscoted using corrugated tin and my wife said what doing something like that behind the stove and on the end panels of the cabinets. I’m not too sure what that would look like. Our house is a log cabin so the rustic look would not be out of place, in case some of you are wondering why we would possible want tin in the house.
Any fresh ideas would be greatly appreciated. The wife wants this job finished.
