Prohibition-Era Parties Inspire a Basement for Entertaining (14 photos)

Because the kitchen had no windows, Knowles went light on top, where the cabinets wouldn’t take as much abuse as the lowers. She selected a Caesarstone counter and light-colored backsplash tiles to add light and take advantage of their reflective qualities.

She chose a subway tile with a couple of twists: It’s 4 inches by 8 inches, not the typical 3 by 6, and it has a beautiful glaze that ends before the edges. “The tiles have an interesting outline in gray-blue and a more dramatic edge,” she says. She played off the edges by using a slightly gray grout.

Tile: Savoy in Cottonwood, Ann Sacks; grout: DeLorean Gray; counters: Organic White, Caesarstone; faucet: Parc, Kohler
