it will always look weird to someone. You'll get the "why didn't you finish it off <so and so> way" question.

How should I end the backsplash tile at my peninsula? Straight down from left edge of cabinet? - louwill 2016-06-14 22:18:17 (641 views)
- What does the tile look like? I wouldn't do anything more than a 6" high backsplash, aligned... - thinset 2016-06-16 10:17:24 (290 views)
  - Tile is 3x6 white subway. We ultimately decided on doing an open shelf like what Pete suggested. - louwill 2016-06-16 13:12:54 (341 views)
    - so...you're doing full tile to ceiling at the sink area (pic 2 in OP)? Continuing over the cabinets? - thinset 2016-06-16 15:50:49 (247 views)
      - Ahhh, I see why there is some confusion now from the picture I posted. - louwill 2016-06-16 16:25:42 (404 views)
- I would end it where the wall cabinet ends. - irish21 2016-06-15 10:41:20 (336 views)
  - For once I will take the opposite view and take it to the end of the counter because... - MARK(nmtt)RS5 2016-06-15 15:27:23 (369 views)
    - So you think I should tile up to the ceiling to the left of that cabinet? - louwill 2016-06-15 16:25:38 (309 views)
      - That was one of the 3 ways I thought of. If you are not sure how it will look, do this... - 5speed6 v.3 2016-06-15 22:20:55 (292 views)
    - I'll agree with tile to the ceiling, but that's potectially a fair additional cost. - irish21 2016-06-15 16:00:16 (378 views)
- check out schluter edge trim, would make a nice finished edge there - a4000 2016-06-15 09:53:44 (242 views)
- use pencil tile to make a nice clean edge....they are pricey but really made a nice finish to - Rakete 2016-06-15 09:36:19 (306 views)
- Thinking outside the box, add another box: a 45deg upper cabinet so it ends at the counter. - Pelican Pete 2016-06-15 05:34:13 (373 views)
  - In hindsight I probably should have done this, but don't think it's an option at this point - louwill 2016-06-15 09:40:33 (265 views)
    - How about just a series of open 1/4 round shelves instead of an angled cabinet? - tjf 2016-06-16 12:13:52 (231 views)
- Aesthetically I'd go all the way to the end of the countertop and up as far as the cabinet bottom - LGL 2016-06-14 23:29:09 (279 views)
  - I would extend it that far as well, but go just a touch above the lower edge of the cabinet - Wascally Wabbit 2016-06-15 14:18:18 (261 views)
  - This is what I would do, or take it all the way up to the ceiling. - Coloradomark 2016-06-15 09:01:52 (254 views)
- Man, that's a tough one. 3 ways to do it that I see, and no matter which you choose... - 5speed6 v.3 2016-06-14 23:16:52 (318 views)
- end it where the cabinets end - TheLex 2016-06-14 22:44:57 (289 views)
  - That will look like crap, IMO. - Wascally Wabbit 2016-06-15 14:18:41 (215 views)
    - I think you overstate your case. - irish21 2016-06-15 14:50:00 (262 views)
      - Ending at the cabinets will make it look unfinished.   -  Wascally Wabbit  2016-06-16 12:30:21 (357 views)
        
        I simply disagree. None of your examples extend more than an inch or two past the upper.   -  irish21  2016-06-16 13:46:44 (303 views)
        
        ^^that makes it look like a cabinet is missing  -  a4000  2016-06-16 13:49:26 (265 views)
  - That's my thought. Tiler suggested some arc that went from the bottom of cabinet to edge of counter - louwill 2016-06-14 22:48:27 (280 views)
    - Or a "stair-step" effect. - gription 2016-06-16 15:22:55 (247 views)
    - just do a straight line down and put a tall piece of artwork on the wall to distract the eye - done - TheLex 2016-06-15 01:22:49 (246 views)
