Are you getting different granite or other countertop material or just removing the granite to do a new backsplash?

Keeping everything the same just was thinking about the tiny granite backsplash we already have.

go to annsacks.com THE BEST LOOKS. then if you can't afford, shop the same look at daltile.com

Another place to look is thetleshop.com. You can get samples for about $1 each. Their prices seem decent, but if you order tile online, the freight company won't unload it for you as it's so heavy. Just the same, you can get some ideas of what you'd like, and see if you can get it through a local tile shop.

You could always do a subway tile with an accent strip and then do a mosaic under the hood/over the cooktop. You can get subway tiles in other colors apart from white. Daltile has a great line of ceramic subway tiles. You can even get them in several different sized i.e.. 2x4 3x6 4x12 as well as in a beveled edge which would give your more variation and definition to your backsplash. You can than choose a mosaic to use as an accent strip which can be cut to the size you want and the mosaic can also be used over the cook top. Most mosaics come in 12" x 12" strips with mesh backings which will help when deciding the thickness of your accent strip. To match your granite/cabinets and keep with the warmth of the kitchen you could also go for a natural stone. I would recommend a walnut travertine. Topcu makes beautiful travertine and other natural stone pieces. Just remember that with natural stone it needs to be sealed. I could go on forever but can help you get started and headed in the right direction.

I like the natural stone idea. Do you have any pictures? I will ask around to check out the names you have me.

I like the idea of a white or cream subway tile as I think it would tie the cupboards and counters in nicely. A dark backsplash could make the room a lot darker and seem smaller.
