| Kitchen backsplash... Wow, so many choices!! We have black granite and stainless steel in our kitchen, with hardwood floors. We're planning to have a backsplash put up in a couple of weeks, and was wondering if you have any info to share about yours.

| You could fo with Black Granite for the back splash to match the counter top, or a nice tile with a Picture of the Yorkie under the Vent and over the stove. Lighting under the Cabinets is also nice. I wanted the granite for the backsplace, Marge wanted a designer tile. She won. All That is important to me is food on the table! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I am obsessed with subway tile, and have been for quite a while...this design obsession just won't leave me! I like it again and again. Not sure if subway tile would go with your styling, but if it would....oh how fabulous! Couple random pics of subway tile...

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I have a black and white checkerboard floor with white cabinets and stainless counters and appliances. I put up a black marble with white veins for my backsplash and love it. The little bit of white saves me from having to polish every time someone uses the sink and leaves water spots on the tile. |

I have black granite with wood, too. We chose to go with a neutral tan 4x4 tile as the back splash because of the light maple cabinets. I wanted something that wouldn't limit me with my choice of paint colors and something that wasn't too overwhelming because I wanted the counter tops to be the focal point.

| Have you seen subway glass tile? Its gorgeous! I watch a lot of HGTV; there is an episode of Selling New York that showed glass subway tile (in a bathroom though) and if I ever redo my kitchen or bath, that would be my way to go!

| In the old days, we would glue cardboard to the wall, and then spray paint it, and draw grout lines across it with a different color. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | They had cardboard in the caveman days?
