I don't have any pictures, but if you like the subway tile look, you might consider a colored subway tile in a crackle glaze to go with wood cabs. Something light greenish to go with the green tones in the ss. I saw a picture recently of a celedon color crackle subway tile that was beautiful. I'll see if I can dig it up.

It's more of a cream crackle glaze subway, but here ya go:

Here's our kitchen with medium-stained cabinets and white subway tile--one at night with the UC lights on and one during the day:

Here's mine.

The green paint is not staying; I'm ready to paint, now I need to find the time!

Thank you everyone- your kitchens are lovely! I can only hope mine turns out as nice when it is finally finished.
Vjrnts: Your soapstone is so cool- what type is that? My cabs are maple but a similar shade so it really gave me an idea of what it would look like.
Bunglogirl: Thanks for the pic-- I have the same sink - it looks really nice with the tile.
Sarchlos-remoodeler: if you can dig up that pic it would be greatly appreciated- sounds pretty.
Thank you all.

My soapstone is Santa Rita Venata from M. Teixeira in New Jersey. I think it's cool too!

not white - but crema marfil tumbled

Vjrnts: My soapstone is also santa rita from M. teix in NJ-
our veining is no quite so prominent- I wanted it a bit more subtle- but I love yours. Thanks again for the pic.
