OK, the manager of our Lowe's just got back to me. He spoke with Faber Stone in Toronto. Unfortunately, they don't ship the product to Lowe's in the U.S. A store could request it, but would likely require a "large" lot to fulfill the order. He did, however say that it is available in the U.S. thru any "Specialty tile" thru Faber stone, under the name Bianco. I did a quick google of Faber Bianco and came up with nothing. However, now that I have this little bit more info and the numbers from Robin above, I'm going to email the person I spoke to with Faber in California and see if we can track it down. BTW, the distributor thought it would be $10-15/SF US. That would be sweet. IF we can find it . . . .

Hi, I asked Brooke Giannetti and she actually didn't choose the backsplash (darn) -- so I have a call and email into the builder. I think it is etched white 6X12 tiles -- I will let you all know if the builder tells me. The link to her blog is http://brookegiannetti.typepad.com/ Thanks!

No pics yet, we're still finishing up everything, but boy did we learn a lot! We used paper cut-outs taped to the wall to figure out my design & glass inserts prior to starting, VERY helpful! It helped us space our inserts around switches and outlets. Be sure to use thinset, not an adhesive. Ours is a 'U' shaped kitchen with 2 inside corners and 2 outside corners around kitchen garden window. We used a 4x4 glass insert above the stove, so we centered it on that wall and worked our way left and right. We did a 45 degree cut on the tiles for the outside corners, looks nice. Then we again worked our way towards the inside corners. On the left inside corner we weren't able to properly 'wrap' the design around, but it was pretty close. On the right inside corner we were able to 'wrap' it around and it looks good. The JB forum has some great pics on how to do corners. We got into a really good routine. DH would cut the tile and I would set them. Use the spacers, but also rely on your own good eye, as the tumbled travertine is not perfect. Sometimes I would space a little wider/thinner than the spacer to keep the overall grout line the same. Sometimes I had to tape the spacer in to keep it from slipping. I'm sure the pros have some tricks for this. Be patient, it takes longer than expected, but well worth it! I'm sure Bill V. has some additional advice or corrections to what we did, please listen to him and the JB forum, they are the Experts! Good Luck!

I like the what you've chosen. I think it will look fine Bling is to the eye of the beholder I guess. It's very easy too add just the right amount of bling after the kitchen is done, so many err on that side. ;) I like bling so would put it in knowing that my personality doesn't require a calm oasis. It and my mind might in fact need the stimulus. It means that others will see the bling i ness first perhaps, when entering the kitchen, but that's okay. The kitchen is for me, my family and home. :)
