[quote=Anonymous]We did a kitchen a couple years ago, and opted for no backsplash (other than behind the stove) and I loved the look of it but did not like the practical aspects. It wiped easily enough, but I didn't like how water seemed to pool at the caulked seam where it met the countertop. It got moldy and just didn't work well. We are in the midst of a kitchen remodel on a new house right now, and we are struggling with countertop again. The kitchen is high gloss white flat panel cabinets with Carrera countertops. The island is white countertop with walnut cabinets. We're in a 150 year old DC rowhouse. My husband wants modern backsplash but I think it's an opportunity to tone down the modern kitchen just slightly and tie it into the old house. Probably looking at an interesting beveled subway tile or similar. Or we might just go modern and do a big white porcelanosa tlie. All we both know is we HATE backsplashes that are busy and loud. They're like the equivalent of an ugly xmas sweater. [/quote]
