with a granite that busy, i would do something classic and plain.

i'd do a shiny, plain tile. maybe not a subway. more like 4x4s on a diamond.

Did you look at grey glass tile at all? The granite is called Alaska
white . my wall colour is natural cream from Benjamin Moore. And cabinets are cream with bit of grey undertone. Did you stack the tile or off-set? Thanks Lisa

Get rid of floor too going with wide wood planks

Yes we did look at the grey glass tile and it was a bit off with our granite. Ours is called silver delicatus so a different tone maybe. The gray could also look lovely, and will still be very neutral and classic. We did a brick pattern with the tiles. FYI, tile guy swore a bit installing them, they don't cut well. No issue though as all cuts are hidden at top and light valance covers all sins. He did a row of clear silicone at the top edge as a few of them have small chips and cracks from cutting. He said the small mosaics are easier to cut, but I'm glad we went with the larger ones. Will try to post a pic for you tomorrow.

Thanks that would be great!

Here you go - cream glass subway with silver delicatus. The green hue in the pictures isn't apparent in person. Light valance isn't up in these pics but is now so it hides lighting and cords etc.
Love it, and so easy to clean, as the grout lines are as small as possible.

thanks you made my decision easier. your kitchen is beautiful! any more pictures?

Beautiful, ReMax Lisa. Are glass tiles clear like regular glass with color from back wall showing through? Or do you select the glass tiles in a color? Sorry I am not more familiar with this. I do think they will look very nice in your space, tbtck....and I love your countertops.

Thanks! We love it. We did a huge addition to our home last year, and blew out the back wall to a great room. The glass tiles have a prepainted back, so they come in a variety of colours. We struggled for a long time choosing, as the granite is so showy, and gorgeous, we didn't want anything to compete with it. I love the reflective quality of the glass, It reflects the trees in the back yard. Here's another couple showing the huge island (continent!).

Absolutely stunning, ReMax. tbtck....you are on the right path. I want to add some type tile backsplash also...as I said I am not familiar with glass....but love regular subway. Have black granite, white w/mocha glaze cabs, light Greige walls. Not much color yet....but I don't want much in the installed items. Will thoroughly check out glass subway. I will have lots of cuts....so was alerted to the comments about the glass being difficult to cut.

Agreeing with yoboseiyo. The countertop needs to be paired with a simpler tile. We supply white glass tile 3x6 subway which i think would be perfect

Are you getting new SS appliances, if so I think stainless backsplash would be nice

yes eventually i will get stainless

well here it is- all done what do you think? still have to get appliances and flooring. not as nice as yours Remax -Lisa

It's gorgeous, I love the backsplash and the pop of orange in your flowers. Also love the poster!

Your kitchen is beautiful just the way you did it. I like the tile in the stacked pattern. I just did the same thing to my kitchen. I had some issues with those little chips where they cut up under the cabinets. I just have to live with it. Otherwise I love how it turned out.

sunnydrew it looks good.I had some chips too - hid them in the corner. thanks Lisa- I just have to find some accessories to go with.

Got appliances !
