I am considering Crema Bordeaux for my kitchen My cabinets are a light almond color, my floors are white tile, the surrounding walls are beige with white trim., and the appliances are stainless. What wall tiles would you suggest over the new counters? (also, if you don't think this would look good, please suggest another granite for my color combination, thanks.)

Could you please make any granite suggestions that would go well with "Sienna Rope" kitchen cabinets, ss and gunstock hardwoods

Martina Burns: Good suggestions are: Kashmir Gold, Giallo Ornamental, Astoria.

Thank you for your suggestion but....with the cabinets being bright white I hesitate to use a creamy color like botticino. Also, cream on the wall against the bright white might also be a problem. What other color/stone might you suggest? With the room being large both in dimension and height it could carry a darker color I think. Your Thoughts?

Swn_Sng: For a darker tones I recommend a copper slate backsplash, or tumbled noce travertine.

We are thinking of purchasing Crema Bordeaux for our kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are white. The floor is a soft taupe ceramic tile with a slight pinkish tint. The kitchen has 12 ft. ceilings.The walls in the adjoining living area are a smoky mauve, nearly milk chocolate in color. I've used a lot of teal throughout the house and plan on using it in the kitchen as well. What would you suggest for the back splash....wall color as well?

Swn_Sng: For backsplash I recommend a tumbled botticino marble tile and perhaps continue in a creamy tone for the wall color.

Does Crema Bordeaux hold up to kitchen counter use. It seems to have a lot of irregularities in it. Is it co mo. For it to have some cracks and large quartz crystals in it? Does it need any special care treatments or sealing?

Nettie: The Crema Bordeaux has a wild pattern but thats the beauty of it. The stone does have quartz crystals and usually some hairline fissures because of it's veining. Make sure to inspect the slab that you will be buying for any serious damage. The stone needs to be sealed every 1-2 years.

I would like to use crema bordeau with cherry cabinets. We like the idea of glass tiles because they would add light to our small kitchen. Do you think glass tile with a sea green tint would work?

Terri: Absolutely! Make sure the set-up does not look too busy however.

I am purchasing Crema Bordeaux that is full of color and movement. My cabinets are painted canvas with a cocoa glaze. The floor is a soft reddish granite colored tile. Appliances and all metals are stainless or brushed nickel. I am going for a French Country look. What type of backsplash will look best? I have found a man in Texas who makes beautiful French high relief tile backsplash in many colors and finishes. They are not the painted tiles but look like architectural carvings. They make kind of a raised panel relief behind the range. Problem is what color to do backsplash so I can order the panels. I lean toward some soft simple neutral color for the backsplash. What is your idea? Any help would be appreciated.

Nettie: A light and neutral beige shade of backsplash would compliment the creamy tones in the bordeaux granite.

We're considering red dragon on our large black "rubbed " L-shaped island and then crema bordeaux on the perimeter w/ cherry (bourbon noir) cabs. Will try to find pieces w/ lots of movement and colors for island and pieces with more rusty tones ( like the dragon ) for perimeter. What do you think ?? Any backsplash ideas??? Haven't even started looking for those.

JAMIE: Two different stones and cabinet colors is a hard design to pull off, but you are on the right track. It seems like everything is coming together nicely. For backsplash, try a tumbled travertine tile. Nothing too busy as your design is already rich in color.

I have a crema bordeaux countertop and dark cherry cabinets. I am having a hard time choosing backsplash tile. I did find a small glass subway tile that is the gray/green in the granite. But, I'm afraid of my kitchen looking red/green. I am open to any suggestions for color style and size of tile for the backsplash. My kitchen is large, bright and open.

MJ: I suggest to go with a simple backsplash as the Crema Bordeux is already rich in color and quite busy. Try a tumbled bottocino marble or travertine tile.
