mtnrdredux. I know you like the reclaimed stuff also. Have you visited Recycling the Past? I found their site when looking for small reclaimed subway tile. They seem to always have a very large selection. They are in NJ. Hubby and I have been meaning to take a drive up there, even though it would mean about 3 hours for us. Their website isn't fabulous, but you can see lots of different tile there. Most pulled from around fireplaces I believe. Here is a link that might be useful: Recycling The Past

They're not trendy. The reason why they're in many high-end decorating magazines is because they're timeless. They may seem "trendy" in design mags and on Houzz forums, but that's because most of these kitchens are STUNNING. In my neighborhood, few remodel with the subway and I live in a nice OC neighborhood, and I should note that not one of these $60k+ kitchen remodels in my neighborhood will be in a magazine either. I will also be choosing subway. I LOVE your kitchen so far, great job. What size are the shaker frames, 2"? Here's a link to confirm your choice: Best Backsplash for Your Kitchen

I just made my decision and pulled the trigger on white subway tile yesterday. I decided on 4x12. I wanted something more “fresh” than the standard 3x6. I didn’t want the extra grout of a 2x8 and felt the 3x12 was a tad too modern, so 4x12 won! In case it matters to you, not all manufactures make 4x12 bullnose pieces, so I choose a company that did.
