Hello – I have just moved into my first home, which is very exciting! It is a renovated 1911 smaller home and I think the kitchen is in need of a backsplash but have no idea what kind would look best. Would love any suggestions! Thank you

Hi Richard!Your name same with me,
ok about your question.Basically there are many different types/materials of tile available on the market. It would be best to discuss your needs with the customer service representative at the store to see which type of material would be well suited for your daily use. As for the colour of your backsplash, I think a colour combination of the floor, countertop and cabinets looks the most pleasing to the eye. Please see attached photo to give you an idea of what might work. Just remember there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to picking a backsplash, just go with the look that you like.
I also offer an ‘Ask the Decorator’ service on my website. I would be happy to be of further assistance to you if needed.

richard there are tiles that you can buy now that are made out of plastic. they are a replica of the old tin ceiling tiles. they come in different embossed styles and can be painted. i have seen them done in a faux finish that looks pretty cool. they are a very inexpensive and easy way to made a nice back splash. they simply glue onto the wall and can be cut with scissors or a knife. they can be bought at any home improvement store.

A classic backsplash for a 1911 house would be tile. the ones that I think are the best for this are often called subway tile. they are about 3" high by 6" wide. they should be installed with a very thin grout line. like 1/16-1/8". You can add a little horizontal stripe for a punch of color if you like. this is a classic look that compliments any period house – especially earlier 1900′s. Enjoy! that era is my favorite house period.

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
