Comments (7)I wouldn't pair it with a brick that has a light whitewash where you might see the clay color of the brick shining through... I think you could go with a fully glazed white brick... such as https://www.fireclaytile.com/brick/colors/detail/snow/ I'd stick with white and not do the grey. Keep it fresh. I've used Lagoon before and paired it with a white Ann Sacks Savoy HIve Ceramic....See MoreNeed help with Countertop and backsplash
Comments (19)We have a small problem with the hood vent. Our wall is not thick enough to hide the pipe so the contractor had to cut out a section of the drywall (see top right of first picture). Contractor will patchup that section but there will be an angle drywall from the ceiling to the right wall and we do not want to see any of the dry wall modifications that have been made. Right now there is 8 inches from top of the molding to the ceiling. Do you think we should install a 3-4 inch filler between cabinets and crown molding? Or will the filler look weird? Please provide your feedback and recommendations....See MoreNeed help with countertop choices
Comments (4)Your first decision should be do you prefer quartz or solid surface? They are both perfectly good choices with their own pluses and minuses, none of which are deal breakers. If you're happy with either material, then go for the look you prefer (unless there is a price difference that matters to you). As for your island, there are different considerations. What do you plan to do on that island? My island is used not only for assembling cakes and cookies and such, I also use it for my granddaughter's adventures in painting, cutting fabric for a quilt I'm working on, and sticking patches on my grandson's Cut Scout "brag vest." Crafts are definitely better on a non-wood surface. I have a walnut cutting board at the sink that I use multiple times a day and love-love-love. After 2.5 years, it's still beautiful, but it shows lots of cut marks and it dries out. Every now and then I hit it with butcher block conditioner, but I wouldn't want to be doing that real often. I don't think I'd choose it for a whole countertop. If I were choosing, I'd go with the same material as the perimeter, or the same material in a lighter color maybe....See MoreM. Juza
