YES! We have grout and a pot filler!!! woo-hoo! I took about 100 pics today so I'm going to work on a final reveal post in the next few days! We still don't have a banquette bench and new table but other than that we're pretty much done! Thanks everyone for your interest : ) PS- weedmeister- It's a custom hood my cab maker made. amadasplit- No, it is Vermont Imperial Danby Marble- supposed to be more durable than Carrara and it's also more expensive-- but less $ than Calacatta Gold, etc..

I think there is a little confusion between our communication. The mosaic sample I have (the one posted) only comes in a 12 x 12 sheet with the 1 x 1 tiles. I did not see any "mosaics" in anything other size other than 1 x 1's. I did see coordinating plain tiles in other sizes. The cost of one 12 x 12 sheet of the 1 x 1 mosaics is $34.76. I found a huge list last night of tile stores in our surrounding area. Will post any additional info I find as I receive it.

annanna - can't wait to see the AKDO tiles in your kitchen!!! momto3girls - thanks for posting the link. It was not that thread that I was thinking about, but it looks like the poster in this thread had a similar issue. I wish he/she posted close-up photos!! The tiles looked really nice! klutterkara - I love your tiles. I remember reading your post when you first shared the pictures. Thanks so much for posting again. How did you finish the exposed ends? Do you have any pictures to share? lynda_baker - thanks for the link. I looked through the thread and saw one picture that looked like it had Bianco Romano on it. Nice backsplash! It looked like gray ceramic tile, though. Do you think it is glass? (I hope we are talking about the same picture)

We installed these 4" x 10" tiles ourselves, and changed from a 1/2 offset to 1/3 at the last minute. I was not confident in my ability to get the offset perfect, so I thought the ~3" offset would help disguise layout imperfections. Our range backsplash is similar in appearance to the photo above. I prefer the randomness, as no layout was going to allow perfect symmetry there, while not causing slivers elsewhere. Sometimes you just have to work with the wall space :) Edit: the backsplash/counter joint has since been caulked, and the walls painted BM Stonington Gray
