Hi there, friends. An informal poll here. I'm doing white subway in my kitchen, and was set on matte tiles, but then saw some photos of kitchens with glossy tiles and of course, now I'm second guessing myself. Cabinets will be painted white, counter tops a charcoal/grey laminate. (Rush, by Nevamar). My style is funky, ethnic, a bit of industrial, zen - a mish-mash - but the kitchen cabinets are pretty traditional. (House built in 70s.) Thank you for your fun input here! ;-)
