I like it! That would look great, except we have already painted the kitchen sage. This is the problem with the contractor making you pick your paint first. Now I'm trying to find a tile that will work with sage, but now maybe I should just repaint because I love that turquoise and brown combo! What is the other color? White? gray? Stainless?

Thanks for the response. Our wall across (behind the stove) is 100 1 /2 inches across. The range is 30" wide. So, from the center of the range over to the wall on the right I have (15 + 24) 39 inches. From the center of the range to the wall on the left I have 61 1/2 inches. So, it's off balance making it even more difficult to try and place 24 inch tile. Any suggestions? For the right side do I go with one 24 inch tile and a 15" tile on the end; then on the left go with two 24 inch tiles then a 13" tile on the end or break it up somehow?

Thanks! That's what I was imagining! But mine will be going up to the range hood, so 30 inches to play with over the cooktop. I want the design there to blend in well and coordinate with under the wall cabinets, not scream... Anyone else did this?

Thanks! I decided to keep the larger tile to create a bigger feel in the kitchen...like I said it's the smallest kitchen I've seen (barring a retirement home!) but I'm considering going UP the corner wall space maybe 2 rows difference from the backsplash under the cabinets and then adding my 30 inch rustic shelves on either side (possibly staggered OR resting on the top of the tile where it ends on the wall on both sides (not sure which way I want to do it...again, it's a visual thing for me), and then using the coordinating paint further up the wall for a little pop. Will determine if I go up the extra 2 rows based on where the pendant light hangs down to.
