Thanks for responding - I see it on my post now. Try refreshing page? Let me know if it still doesn't work...

Yes, I see it now, and it's lovely. Can you contact the original designer? Is this a houzz photo?

I don't think the countertop is Caesarstone Pebble. It looks much more grey/black to me than pebble. I'd look for something with more true grey and black. Perhaps one of their concrete colors, or Pietra, or even Belgian moon, if you can find that wall tile.

Thanks! I did contact the designer (it's not a houzz photo), but she said the "closest" thing is a Hampton marble strip found here: https://www.tileshop.com/product/hampton+carrara+corinth+marble+mosaic+tile+-+12+x+12+in..do?sortby=newArrivalsDescend&refType=&from=fn&ecList=7&ecCategory=100230

I don't think this will give the same effect, though, as there doesn't seem to be much depth or variation in color here...I'm just worried that it will come out too busy for me if it's not the right tile, grout, etc...

I've ordered other samples of Caesarstone to consider but haven't received them yet. Definitely intrigued by the concrete colors. Not sure I want to go as dark as Pietra...

You might need to define "busy". The link to the tile shows a VERY PALE tile with very little movement or veining. That, to me, is a very "low impact" visual. The variation in tile size will add interest without being "busy".

The movement in the stone in your inspiration photo has FAR more movement than the link you offered. This is a little confusing for me. Most people define "busy" as being "too much colour variation".

Are you looking for a hint of variation in a tile that is standardized in size? Is that what you are after? Personally I see the posted photo as being "busier" than the link...because the tiles with more colour (photo) have "more going on".

Either way, these tiles (inspired photo or link) are both low-impact visual tiles. Very pale. Easy to blend with just about anything. There have been many people who purchased marble tiles only to find out the boxes contained A LOT of colour...so much colour that they bought 2-3 times what they needed and then sorted out the tiles they wanted. This is one way to go about it. Expensive but possible.

And being marble they will stain like the dickens. Make sure you seal these things as soon as possible. One Houzzer has already had her 2 week old marble tile backsplash SOAKED in cooking oil. She was devastated. It took her hours and hours of "poultice" to get rid of 80% of the oil. She has a few more nights of cleaning a head of her to get rid of the last 20%...she will then have it professionally sealed once she has cleaned it.

There are some beautiful marble-look porcelain tiles in the market that may get you what you are looking for: uniform size with controlled colour variation.

Thanks for the input. When I said "busy" I was referring more to the size of the tiles actually. I love the random strip look, but the samples I've picked up have much skinnier/smaller tiles, so you see a lot more grout and movement. I don't mind variation in color between the tiles, I just like a slightly bigger size...does that make sense? Sorry if I'm not being clear.
