Home Depot has MSI antique white in the arabesque shape or the Elongated I think it would look very good.

If I was a purchaser I would probably prefer painted wall knowing I could easily put up a tile backsplash. I would get a cute valance and call it done.

The cabs are simple and modern. Take it further with simple tile..that mosaic will lock whoever's purchasing the house into a certain color scheme, more than just the cabinetry/floors/counters will do. It's too busy. I think it'll take away from a nice kitchen rather than benefiting it.

Plain white. I wouldn't bother with fancy shapes.

Yes, plain whit subway. The mosaic looks dated already.

Your purchaser may think white subway looks "dated". But the mosaic, nice as it is, does block the purchaser in to limited design choices. Can you simply leave the area painted, allowing a future owner to make his her own choices with no fuss, as a lot of folks take their time in deciding backsplash?

For me, I would think it might look too busy. I would find a nice subway tile you like.

As a buyer, I would rather have the mosaic or paint. White subway tile would be the first thing to go if it were my house.

And I'd be thrilled that it had white subway.

I'd like plain white subway w/ grey grout

That tile looks like something you would find in the ghettos of Detroit !!

And these are the reasons I'd leave it with just paint, since this is to sell. You've got a variety of reactions to the mosaic and to the white subway...

I spent way too many years growing up taking NYC subway trains to choose that for my kitchen.

I agree. Let the new owner figure it out.

This is a decorator/design forum not an investing forum. As an investor wanting to sell the house quickly at a good price I'd say you've already put a lot of money into the kitchen with new appliances and cabinets so take the last step to finish the kitchen so that it helps potential buyers get over the hurdle from liking the house to putting in an offer. You want the house to appeal to many buyers. If they see something unfinished they may wonder where else you cut corners on the flip. Someone will always have a different personal opinion about design. A classic subway in a cloud white (not cream) would be fine and I'd guess you could find something like that at box stores for $1-2 per square foot. It would be best to put it up all the way to the base of the upper cabinets but even if you just ran it to bottom of the window sill it would finish the kitchen off and make the kitchen a showcase of the house.

What Stan says. It makes the place look finished.

There's no 4" backsplash, so just paint is not going to work behind the sink. Any potential buyer will immediately see that they need to add a tiled backsplash, i.e. spend money and time. While some people may hate white subway, it will appeal to most, or at least the majority of buyers won't be turned off by them (like a more taste specific mosaic or pattern might).

BTW, with the argument to let buyers decide, you could also have left off the hardware, the appliances, the counters, or even the kitchen cabinet doors/drawer fronts.

Oh, and I'd add a crown molding to the top of the cabinets.

I don't know who "most buyers" are....seems we are all "people" with ability to think, discern ,and apply what we know from one experience with a property to another. Myself, I would resent the unfinished nature of the upper cabinets. Revealed in the first picture by nosoccermom is an upper cabinet about the same quality with finished trim across top and bottom and under cabinet lighting. this would be much more important than a tile selection if I were interested in the home and looking at the kitchen. Is that a 3 in gap between stove and lower cabinet and no space between stove and wall? I would seriously think about addressing that.

Well then finish the upper trim-can you do under cab lighting? I would actually list the house with Out finished backsplash.prop up some interesting backsplash options and offer to complete what the buyer picks.....or give allowance. Some personalization choice offered to buyer in an otherwise basic kitchen with a flaw in my opinion-the spacing of range. Not even sure that is code with no space between wall.someone may redo this....but it can be used obviously.dont worry but don't do the backsplash.

White subway tile. It won't cost much and won't be hard to do, but it will make a big difference.

Codes differ re: stove near wall. Because I am paranoid, when we helped our DD with her NYC co-op we put in a fireproof sheet of metal that we had cut to size.
