JK - I really wanted this for my kitchen backsplash.
It is turning out to be difficult to locate.
Templating costs over $100.00 per sq foot and not in our budget.
I had some other ideas of using glass tiles but bigger than subways.
Glazier glass and Bear Glass are the 2 companies that I remember.
The best type of glass is Starphire - which is the clearest of the glass, so less change in paint color.

If you are creative - you can buy glass shelving and paint it yourself. There is a company that sells the paint.

Hope you can do it! Would love to see the pictures.

I very seriously considered this. Its what I really wanted. From the known backsplash purveyors...way too expensive and I was not terribly cost sensitive. From the local glass guy who would transport it to our painter who would paint with Glasspaint (that I purchased) and then transport it to us...way too expensive (and did I mention that I wasn't that cost sensitive?). Also, the risk of a problem -- now or in the future -- entirely my problem regardless of where I bought it. Then there is the problem of needing to make sure your walls are very plumb. Since I wasn't moving walls and they are not, that was a problem. And...let's see, what else...did I mention that it was WAY too expensive. Every cut they need to make for an outlet or light switch was a fortune. In the end I think I was going to pay $10,000 for a backsplash totally at risk if there were any problems. And I have a tiny, tiny kitchen. I concluded that the only way to do it at a reasonable cost was DIY. I am just too busy, too untalented and too lazy. I finally gave up. But I do love the look....

Nice job Pharoh!!
What was the cost per sq ft?
How many pieces total?
Not sure I totally understand what you did - but nice!!

I don't think our walls are very "plumb" - but still toying with the idea.

Love that counter top! What is it?

There are four pieces. I wanted to keep it simple.

The glass is cheap. The cuts are expensive! They charge for each cutout and that adds up quick. I think I spent less than $500 for all the glass you see here.

Email me if you want detailed instructions.

The countertop is Connemara marble from ireland. It is actually a serpentine. Non porous, non etching. It does scratch so I have to polish it soon especially in high use areas.

Here is another view of the island/counter.

WHOA, pharaoh!!!!!

beanie, the counter is wrapped in connemara sepertine. The front is backlit onyx. Cooking on an island has been the best choice we made in the remodel 6 years ago. It is great to face your guests as you cook!

Wow - what a pretty kitchen!!! Love it!! I'm a bit confused about how you did the glass though...
