Your kitchen is lovely. Love those countertops and your backsplash choices are all great.I like the idea of a botanical on the backsplash. What is that third from right withwhat looks to be red in it? I think that would add agood, but small splash of color. Can't wait to see more pics!

WOW! It's looking fabulous!

Did you use the Desert Limestone counters or did you change for something else?

Yes we did use Desert Limestone in the end. These are the most practical counters I've ever had. They're so easy to clean and keep looking good. I love them.

The middle 3-form sample is actually Capiz natural cream (part of the Jazz collection). The criss-cross is more of a brown than a red. I like it a lot. The Capizalso comes ina fewmuted colors in addition to the naturals and creams. I'm really struggling with what to do for a backsplash and where to put it. That's a big wall to fill at the back and I'm not sure how much of it should be backsplash material. Perhaps it's time to join the backsploozie party.

I absolutely love a monocromatic look!! And WOW.......what a huge space!! I completely envy you!! I agree that using something earthy instead of something industrial will look great.

Here is a cool site that may inspire you: http://www.3-form.com/materials.php

I can't wait to see how it all pulls together!
