Hi I have a very similar kitchen, black counters white cabinets and black hardware. I keep thinking about putting white subway tiles as the backsplash but im not sure what kind to get. What kind are these? Im afraid to get them too shiny or not in the right size. These look good. Thanks, Eva

White subway tile is so classic... Can't really go wrong. 3x6 is the most common size, and glossy is the most common and classic finish. I'd go with a non-crackle handmade optile in a 3x6. Ann sacks has a line called capriccio... But there are others as well.

We have unfinished white oak wide planks which look very classic modern, hides dust/hair/nicks & dents. They have been down for about 6-7 yrs and yellowed a bit from aging... We couldn't match it when we wanted to extend the wood floor to an adjacent step down family room, so we installed Brazillian Cherry, which shows every nick & dent and dust at all times. Lot's of vacuuming!
