Very pretty. I love the floors too.

I don't understand. That isn't a back splash.

LOL at Hampton Palace!! I'm afraid to ask what point you are trying to make.

This. Surely gaudy in one's home.

Look at Ann Sacks - both the site and the store (in G'town on Wisc Ave). Lots of beautiful ideas there. I'm partial to mosaic tile, myself, but it tends to have a lot of grout so not sure how practical it is if you cook a lot. But that's a good place to start for tasteful and high-end, and they have a lot of different styles.

ceramic, porcelain, marble etc

So just to be clear because this left room for interpretation - looking for something, nice, luxury and high end, or will just anything do?


Also, is this in NWDC? - because the concept of 'high end, luxury, high end, non tacky, high end' could be different in other parts of town.

Oh fuck, here comes the french country, ugly colonial lovers to tell someone that a slab of marble carried up a wall is tacky. Lets go back in history and tell it to the Europeans.
