[quote=Anonymous]Our contractor, with whom I have too many beefs to list right now, texted this morning saying we have to decide on how to edge the backsplash tile that is being installed TODAY. He never mentioned this or asked about it and we are at work without resources to do much research, but I did a little Googling and am still stuck. Help?

The backsplash is geometric, this pattern but in cobalt blue: [url]https://mercurymosaics.com/products/medium-diamonds-75-emerald[/url]

Paint on the upper walls and dining area (open to kitchen; the backsplash will end against this paint on two sides) will be some sort of greige but I haven't selected it yet. Countertops are cream quartz with a gray vein.

Sink and lighting fixtures are brushed nickel.

We are supposed to choose between bullnose and Schluter (metal) trim. I like bullnose but don't know that it can be found in the correct blue at this very last minute. My instinct with Schluter is that it looks cheap, but I think that's what being used against the green tile in the same pattern in the link above, and it looks OK. I don't know how one chooses a color for that when the paint color isn't even selected yet, nor is the grout. Communication with this contractor has been abysmal and we're furious.

Advice? Experience? The house is a colonial that's generally pretty traditional in style. Thank you![/quote]
