I had polished carrera in my old house and loved it.

Sorry, I hit send too soon. I forgot to say, because I can't say it enough, how fabulous Niffy's kitchen is. One of my all time GW and Anywhere Else kitchens of all time.
Another marble backsplash I'm in love with belongs to another GWer, Dotcomegone, if you want to do a search on it.

Hi. Tried to post these last night but can not figure out how to do that from my handy dandy ipad. I missed the technology boat big time. Anyways- hope these help! I had such a hard time with countertop/back splash choices! It was down to the wire and I considered ALL options a zillion times. Had these in my 'file'. Thanks Rookie for the compliment. The marble was definitely my greatest source of angst in the whole remodel process. I do love the look of the marble subways! Good luck!

Wow- niffy and rookie you kitchens are gorgeous!

Here's mine. It's polished crema marfil. Light's not great unfortunately, but for some reason I can't upload anymore to Photobucket!

Thanks everyone - these are very helpful. I am so stuck on the backsplash - my kitchen is dark ... I know I want white cabinets and white ceasarstone (well, I WANT marble but my husband is not in agreement) but I'm worried about matching the ceasarstone to the marble. The Blizzard color seems to be the closest match but you never know what your marble subs will look like exactly.

My designer is pushing for an odd size - like Walker Zangers 2 X 8 or the smaller ones 1 X3 is it? Anyway, it is hard to imagine so here I am looking at pictures in the middle of the night. MADNESS!!!

Oooops....I didn't read the original post very carefully! Sorry Amac514, you were looking specifically for subways..... I'll see if I can find something with caesarstone and carrera.

I have white subway tile with a herringbone marble inset form Ann Sacks. Notice the shelf I had made out of marble. I think it adds a wonderful finish detail to the space. Scroll down to see the inset.

Here's my marble backsplash. Appliances and hood go in tomorrow! It's honed crema marfil cut in 3x12 pieces. Maybe this photo will help you with the "odd" sizes.

(OT...willowdecor...love the local artisan clock...awesome).

That second picture that dotcomgone posted is fabulous.

Thank you marcydc - yes, that is the size that my designer wants me to use. It is very helpful to see it - thank you, thank you!

Hi amac...

Maybe this picture is too late but here is my 2 x 4 crema marfil tumbled marble backsplash..
