backsplash

The house includes a romantic wallpapered bedroom and bathroom on the second floor and a kitchen on the ground floor featuring checkerboard tile floors and a soft fabric skirt to balance the marble slab countertops and backsplash.

Over the next few years, Recker and Perez noticed signs that the house was shifting, according to the lawsuit: the kitchen floor was sinking, the counter tops were separating from the backsplash, and the garage foundation was cracking.

More handmade tiles by Miller, who is also a painter, brighten the backsplash behind the sink and stove.

The ceramic backsplash, dishes and lidded jars are all by Adam Miller for Reaperware.

She bought it last year for $1.6 million — a totally redone three-bedroom with subway tile backsplash, soaking tub and solar panels.
