It's ok to be afraid of patterns but that's only if you know when they can be very effective and when they cannot. This is a kitchen backsplash that was specifically picked out by Candace Christian of Kitchener-Waterloo and it works perfectly with the kitchen she decorated/designed. This backsplash takes some subtle hints from the cabinetry all around it and plays off of matte finish with a polish of its own. When your counter top and your cabinets are holding back, that gives you the opportunity to put in a backsplash that will basically say "Hey look here!" Candace chose this marble mosaic from our showroom and it is a great focal piece in the kitchen. A lot of customers ask us what this mosaic is, how much it costs, and how soon they can get it. Does pattern work with everything? Not particularly, but when it does it adds that element to a room that you didn't know you were missing but always wondered about. Do you know when you finally find the puzzle piece that you were looking for and it fits? That's the feeling.
