[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look up Maria Killiam on backsplash tile. It's the first thing to date your reno and she recommends white subway tile with matching grout [/quote]

This is fine if you have no opinion whatsoever and just want everyone to think it’s fine as well.
There are a million different tiles out there and for a small area in a white kitchen the possibilities are endless. Do you have a favorite color? One that is echoed in the rest of your house? [/quote]

I think that the white subway tile with white grout will look super dated because it’s been so popular for the past decade or so.  It’s like in the early 80s when everyone said oak cabinets were classic and would never look dated, or in the late 90s when everyone said dark cherry was so classic and would never look dated.  Basically anything that is very popular will look dated at some point, so the lesson is just to get what you like unless you’re planning on selling within 5 years or so.  [/quote]

Oak and cherry cabinets will come back anyway, so don't worry about things looking dated. Just get what you like and enjoy it.[/quote]
