Ladma that is definitely the scenic route! Glad it eventually showed up. 🙂

My samples are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. 🙂

Yeah!! Waiting is the worst!

So true Parker!

Oh great! looking forward to seeing them in your kitchen..hope one works for you🙏🏻

Just to confirm - waiting for the samples feels is the worst and it takes ages. A fair heads up to anyone to order as soon as possible. Glad to hear yours are arriving!

Here are the samples. Opinions please. 🙂

Hi Molly the neutral color is so pretty..you can always add blue into the room with art and accessories for the counter…different from what you had…would be beautiful.

Molly, forgive me for showing this. I saw it recently without remembering your criteria, but decided to share, just in case the pattern appeals to you. I don't even have a source, but I think it was in one of the many links in Apple News this past weekend.

I like the neutral one. It is so pretty against your beautiful counter.

Thanks dsimber, very interesting pattern. However, the mushrooms don’t appeal to me.

Well, I like the blue.😉 It makes me happy!

I always love blue but I also really love the canvas color in your kitchen because it looks so nice with your counters and cabinets. Like HIWE said “you can add blue accents on the counters.”

Another vote for neutral ✅

neutral for me.

I like the blue too, but am leaning neutral as a change of pace to what is there now. Thanks for the votes.

Neutral one for me here.

Neutral 👏 So pretty, Molly!

Neutral for me to Molly:)

I love colour but the neutral works sooo much better with what is there.

I am now considering tile under the cabinets. My installer recommended these 2 patterns to go with my paper. Thoughts? Ignore the tile color, just consider the pattern.

I think you will be very, very happy with tile.

Molly, I think in the long run, you would be happier with the second pattern. Doesn’t fight with the wallpaper. Just MHO. Classic!

Cant go wrong with subway tile! it will be very pretty with the wallpaper.

I too agree with the second tile option for the same reason Nora stated.

Third vote for the running bond tile installation. It will absolutely work with the paper - and not steal the show. It’s a background player. This is all looking very lovely.

I really like the second one too!

So do I!

I like the second one best too. 🙂

Hm. Outlier here… I like the first one. More interesting, less expected, but i’d like to see it in a mock up to see how much it actually conflicts with the wallpaper.

I like second one too. Love wallpaper and it needs “quiet” companion.

I went tile shopping today, let me know your preference. One is significantly less than the others. 1-4 left to right.

I like #2. It's going to be beautiful!!

I like also #1 #2. The last one is ok. Is that the cheapest?

#2 and the small #4

#2 Looks best on my monitor.

Molly what is the size of the small tile..I like the smaller slender size. and it is a bit brighter lighter…..I think it may look really nice…not completely matching the counter..but providing a slight contrast.

Julie the smaller size is 2.5x8. It is also matte. Here is a picture in natural like on a gray day.

I also like #2. I do like the longer tile.

#2 is my vote.

Molly I really like the 2x8” and prefer the Matte finish…all the trim in your home is white I think the lighter tile will look the best.

Thanks Julie. Why do you prefer the smaller size? Ignore any pictures that may be attached, I can’t remove them for some reason.

#2…

On my monitor #2 looks great - so glad you are doing tile

Well, I'll stand out alone but I like #1 or the small ones. I think #2 is a bit too matchy matchy with the wallpaper to me. I think the whiter ones keep you open to more possibilities in the future.

I don't know how the small tile will look, but which one is the cheapest? haha

Thanks everyone! Seems like #2 has the majority of the votes. Pool #1 is too white against the counter. A friend mentioned that the glossy would bounce more light compared to the smaller matte. #3 is the least expensive. 🙂

Morning Molly…I prefer the smaller thinner , I just prefer the look and the matte finish for a kitchen backsplash unless it is mother of pearl or glass……I like the larger with gloss finish for showers/bathrooms.

Molly any will work and look beautiful, subway tile is classic so no worries pick what you love.

Here are two ways to use the smaller 2x8 tiles

Molly, popped in to see what you were up to and so Happy to see it is TILE….YAY!! It’s gonna look amazing 👏👏👏
