    I don't have a backsplash at all, but if budget weren't a consideration (or if I were more artistic), I think I would go with mosaic. You can get endlessly creative and it will be continually interesting.

    I so wish it was my kitchen. However, we purchased a 1979 duplex with a very out dated kitchen and upgraded. Style unknown...you could probably help us out with that one lol!

    I like all the backsplashes, but I like the third one the best because it is more cohesive to the rest of the room.

    I like them all! I really wanted a blue backsplash when we re-did our kitchen but decided i may get tired of it. Went with a brown penny tile. It was a firs time tile project & I LOVE it!! It makes the room!!

    I have a faux slate looking counter top with cherry/mahogany colored cabinets. We wanted to put up some kind of a backsplash but we have been stuck. I love the mosaic stone look (strata stones has them) but im so torn on what color, pattern, etc to get.. I would appreciate any advice!

    I really like the stainless steel, but would not like cleaning it. My Mr. Clean sponge gets enuf of a workout on my SS appliances, which I don't think I would do again either......LOL

    Just to add, part of my problem is that all the counter tops with backsplashes are LIGHT.. ours is BLACK... hence the problem!

    It's really neat that so many like #1! That kitchen actually won us an award, so I guess the feeling was mutual ;) And, Laura, the kitchen with the stainless steel backsplash has a black countertop. What about that? Steel does look gorgeous with Cherry. Check out this kitchen too: http://www.akatlanta.com/Modern-Mix-Kitchen ...»

    Would you have thought of using these blue mosaic tiles? But they look fantastic, don't they?

    @AK funny its hard to tell that that counters are black since the stainless is so shiny :) I never thought about the blue..That is great too. But I do like the stainless best. Would like more information about that please. My kitchen appliances are all black and stainless so that would fit very well. I didnt like the C**P they sold in the store that "looked" stainless. But yours is beautiful. I think it scared me away.

    Since my home is older, I like the mosiac more than the more modern treatments. Good work!
