I love the glass tile and granite combo! I did use the pencils because I thought it would be a nice transition b/w subway and mosaics but it would have been much easier and cheaper if I had not. I have allot of outlets and when it came to cutting around them the pencils were a bear to cut for a DIYER. So I added another row of mosaics to avoid having to cut the pencils.

Ooohhh... I love those glass tiles, deesh! Where did you find them? What are they called?

I personally like the tiles without the pencil - feels more contemporary to me, but when I looked at MaryBeth's kitchen, it does look really nice!

I like the tiles alot. I think I'd do a row of stone set square, then the roughly 3" - 4" row of glass, and then how about doing the stone set as a diagonal on top of the glass. In your setting, I prefer no pencil liner.

Thanks for your feedback, yeah I fell in love with the glass tile the first time I lay eyes on them. Marybeth your backsplash has turned out really good, I think adding another row of mosaic has made it better.
momandallie picked up the tiles from Home Depot, dont have a proper company name but called premium tile mosaic Brown Blend.
I think will drop the idea of the glass tile as border, as for the pencil still debating :)

Please look at this new picture I have decided this combination for my backsplash the let me know what you think granite is the same color as in first picture

Thanks

I like it! I just love that glass tile! I think if you want a more contemporary look I would skip the pencils. The more of that glass tile you use the better!

I did something similar, but without the pencils. I just felt like the pencils were too distracting. My mosaic has a mix of travertine and frosted glass.
