[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like large format tiles or stone for a backsplash.

I don't like that glass mosaic- it just looks kind of low rent to me. In the right colours it could look ok in a beach house or something small where the noisy colours wouldn't be so offputting.

I like the look of the glass backsplash, but I have this weird thing I do accidently where sometimes I drop/throw stuff when I feel it falling and go to save it, and I could see myself cracking the glass which would suck.[/quote]

I have stone for now. I wanted to give my kitchen a small face lift until we gut it and redo the cupboards and counter tops. So we replaced the yucky tile with stone. 
Kinda like this.

It is masculine and heavy though. I'd love a light airy kitchen. One day.[/quote]

A kitchen like this is a good example. With the business of the counters, busy backsplash and dark wood, if you change any ONE thing, there would be an improvement. Either paint the cabinets,  or put in a less distracting backsplash or a non speckly counter. Any one thing would make a huge difference. For me, I'd ditch the backsplash and reassess if I needed to paint all cabinets or just the uppers.[/quote]

Yeah, My counters are solid and my cabinets are lighter with no glaze on them. Was just showing the stone. Either way I don't love my kitchen but it will do for now.[/quote]
