Thanks for all of your comments on which way to lay the tile....here's our new tile backsplash.

After posting the question here if we should do straight set or off set tile, the resounding answer was off set. We went with the majority and did an off set tile backsplash using 4 x 16 tile. The whole post, including before and after photos plus some tips and tricks we have learned through our tile experience is at http://www.aswellplacetodwell.com/2012/06/ki...

very cool! I'm not always a fan of the "subway tile" look, but with the white cabinets yours turned out exceptionally well.

Really like how your tile project turned out. We have subway tile for our kitchen that I hope we will finish putting up before the end of summer. :)

Thank you. I love waking up and coming downstairs and seeing nice new grey tile instead of the old white 4X4 tile we had.
