Longwell Finishes
back splash design, alternative to subway tiles D: We like non-subway tile backsplashes, though if we're going for the 3D look pattern, we'd like additional shades to give it a bit of structure. -http://www.heathceramics.com/home/pages/tile-build/collections-brands/mural, though it doesn't have to shift colors as much as those examples - And if we don't go for the 3D look, we still like non-subway tiles, like these: http://www.heathceramics.com/home/pages/tile-build#galleryviewer-149-158 This is a very nice set of colors.
Exposed Plywood in Peanut with shelving on the ends D: We still really like the shelving on the ends, and we like the cabinets from a distance. We figured out that they're bamboo, which is how they have that cool edge detail. Not sure we're sold on bamboo as a veneer, though. We don't love the veneer grain.
