Thats the rangehood     Martini I was thinking the same re art work to balance the wall  The rangehood has to wait for a while to be installed 'cause it going to cost quite a bit to install it

I know you have already painted, but I would also suggest that you paint the walls in a warm grey (on the dark rather than the light side) to complement the rangehood but contrast with the kitchen and the beautifual wall piece so that they 'pop' out of the wall.

(I'd post pics but don't know how...)

Where do you want to post pics from, Martini? Comp? Internet? It's easy to do.

I forgot about the "plate holder" that was a subject on its own elsewhere

I'll change my tiling thoughts now.  

Because of the mix of styling (country/modern) I would go with just tiling behind the rangehood to the ceiling still in the same pattern.

Like the thought of the light green coloured walls.

Martini, do you think tiles would still be warranted along the bench tops?  How about some rounded quad?

Bushie for the future, a couple of plain shelves (with the same "turned" spacers as your magnificent plate holder) painted the same colour for the area above the micro/fridge to help balance the wall.  (Buy an old 'what-not' for its parts.)

I'm really liking "our" kitchen.

I like different (some people say old-fashioned)   The counter is soapstone (look), white and black stove, and white iron sink.

When it was in progress.  Other photo have one wall grouted and another not.

There' are several different accent tiles (they were the part that cost a bit).

Best of luck getting exactly what you want, installing it quickly, and loving it later. 🙂

Love the accent tiles 🙂 I was looking at them recently, no not cheap, but lovely.  I prefer to keep the walls a soft green colour as the sun/family room runs off the kitchen and I want to keep the continuity of the same colour on both the walls as in summer the room/s can get quite hot and I think the green gives the cool look with out making it look too cold in the winter ( bit hard to explain ) 

Deb I like your idea re similar shelving over the microwave, we have some reclaimed baltic pine shelving that we pulled dout of an old cupboard,  so now you have given me an idea.  Because of the high cost involved, we cant get the rangehhod installed atm, so that partof the wall  is going to have to look "plain" for a while.

Love the "our kitchen" idea lol lol

If you are going to change anything later, like the stove, the range hood, etc. make sure to buy enough extra tiles in case the new applances aren't EXACTLY the same shape/size.   I did have some extra when I had to replace the range hood, but always wished I'd purchased enough for an add-on project.  I'm constantly having to clean/paint the wall behind a small trash bin.  It would have looked so nice to have done the wall in solid white tiles as it is beneath a counter overhang. (no accent tiles).  The tiles were no longer offered when I thought of it.  😞

Donna is so right on that one.  We just had a new front door installed and the bottom was very different than the original door so we had a gap of about an inch between the end of the floor tiles in our entrance way, and the door. Luckily we had kept extra tiles when they layed our floor about 15 years ago, so it was easy to fix.
