After our “black to white” transformation of the kitchen, we decided to update our bathroom as well. Like the kitchen, it had a countertop (and backsplash) of black granite tile. Ugh.
We found a remnant slab of marble that was around 40% of the original retail price. What a steal. We liked how the grey and white complemented the existing grey and white in the floor and shower tile, so we grabbed it and picked out some fun tile to use as a backsplash.
More demolition work was needed. We ripped out the black granite, tore out the backsplash– and the accompanying drywall– and then had to install new wetboard. My first time working on drywall actually didn’t go too badly!
Once the new countertop was in, we hired a “tile guy” to take care of the backsplash. I installed some new vessel sinks, and we were in business. I think the results look fabulous.
Here are close-up views of the marble and backsplash:
Once again, triumph over black granite!
