Backsplash Reccomendations!
I have just about finished...well it seems like it compared to where I started!

I need help figuring out what to do for a backsplash--what kind of tile. Should I just match the floor or can I do something different? The kitchen will be painted a light mint green and the countertops are "Peacock Green" a variation of Uba Tuba. As you can see in the pics I went with the Adel Birch cabs and a grey/beige tile. Thanks for you help!

Re: Backsplash Reccomendations!
backsplash is such a personal choice, to me it's like the jewelry. you could do tumbled marble/travertine tiles, it's a nice neutral choice

Re: Backsplash Reccomendations!
I wanted to tie together floor and wall tiles and countertop granite, so I came up with using some granite tiles (same Impala Black granite we used for the counter) combined with smaller version of floor tiles.
