I am looking for the same. New white kitchen in a home built in 1928- my adjacent dining room is also a green. We have wood floors and will have some stainless. I am still trying to figure out countertops and backsplash- designer and architect like white subway. There is a beautiuful green kitchen on this site somewhere I think the name was "Bulkey". You might be able to do the same in grey. If you cannot find it I think I have filed a photo of it. I think it may be a Candice Olsen design. I am wanting a sunnnier color for mine - I tend to love the yellows and am even considering an apricot/paler mango color. Now sure how this would work with the green dining room - but I cannot stop thinking about it. I will keep you posted on my colors as they change. Does anyone have a kitchen that is apricot or mango?

You might find something similar by one of the manufacturers in this thread. You might also try contacting the tile store that nosoccermom identified.

I adore arabesque (and lantern. and other spanish -influenced traditional shapes-after all it's my favorite style ever, if I have to choose) but it doesn't spell modern to me.depends of course of what one means by modern because often people mean different things by that -some mean certain style, some mean something being more recent, contemporary. here's Fireclay tile blog..I liked glazed bricks on the first pic..second as well-shapes but less fluid shapes, more geometrical ones..and I strangely like this sweater pattern..I think last from the top? the one they call prep school. it might be too much and one needs to make sure they have enough space on their backsplash to pull it off. yet it exudes certain warmth..as if it was a sweater..:) https://www.fireclaytile.com/blog/ (as for the brand itself. I never used Fireclay myself, it's not inexpensive either, yet many people on these forums did, and remained extremely pleased with their quality. take a look at what they offer..they have many interesting products. including a lot of black plus white designs, some with a lot of contrast in the pattern, some, paler, more "barely there" of an effect)

I love the look of the glass pendants, but when I went to the store all of the pendants were dusty or the glass was cloudy. Which made me think of how often I would have to wash these pendants since we do a fair amount of cooking. I did find another pendant, which is not see through but does incorporate the chrome look. Once they are in I will need to figure out if they will all be at the same height or if the middle one will be higher. Thanks to all and I will send pictures once they are in.
