Help - how do I tone down a tumbled travertine backsplash? - seal mosaic backsplash
We have just a 4 x 4 mosaic travertine (cream and cinnamon) splashes in the kitchen. We love it, but the contrast of the stone at the top of the rock is so dark as expected - - and reminds me of a time of life aboard the pizza.
I would like to exercise restraint and not to break it again. I have tried to clarify sponge painting dark tiles a bit, but all the samples, such as .... painted. I just want clean, natural classics of the future. All ideas of another form or product to be used that could to create a more uniform?
BTW ... She was cemented and sealed.
Thank you for your help!

That's a tough, natural stone is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately there is very little agreement between the sample and the product is installed, so I'm with you!
It would really start a disgrace to the tile, so I had a few options for you ...
1. High-gloss finish and the colors will be intensified if the contrast, so a little work, but you can peel the seal and install a seal with a matte finish that can help.
2. If you're ready for the challenge, you can take the existing mortar joints and with a new color, is a mid-tone colors of light and dark squares. When choosing a grout color tones in a way that will help to minimize the contrast and thus the chessboard on the floor.
3.ThE is a third option for some of the decorative elements that change the tile with the focal point of the tile with a little more dramatic change to surround. First select a really bold color like red, turquoise, orange or green and alive, here are 3 elements of decoration (in the rather large color pictures, sticks or twigs, cans, flower pots, small appliances) that can be placed in visually prominent locations in the room. The trick is to ensure that these questions, the first thing upon entering the room overlooking the square. This strategy is more effective if the rest of the piece is a monochromatic palette, so if the color is an option to choose one of the subtle colors in the tiles, paint the rest of the room.
I hope it helps, it is difficult to give specific solutions to problems, without seeing the pictures of my room design!
