Backsplash Design: Capturing One's Love for Italy




Jerry and Rose emailed us pictures of their newly tiled backsplash. We're excited to share with you how happy they are with the finished design! When they ventured into our showroom, they were in search for a design that could capture their love for Tuscany, Italy. They were immediately attracted to Stone Impressions, which "creates stunning motifs, murals, flooring, accents and listellos on natural stone. Not a decal or a heat transfer, the StoneImpressions’ process produces an image with greater depth and clarity, and a better range of color and consistency than hand painting."

After looking at many pictures and much research on their thorough website, "Tuscan Landscape" was the design they chose on light travertine tumbled marble. They trimmed the mural with a light travertine 1x12" pencil to create a picture frame design. They used light travertine tumbled marble in 6x6 and 4x4 for the rest of the backsplash and used a matching grout color to create a cohesive, monochromatic color palette. The mural makes a great focal point above their cook top! Jerry and Rose credit Kenny Nansteel, local tile installer, for his fantastic installation skills.
