Nope.

You have such a small area. 3 days a go you posted a pictures with multiple color glass tiles. Find something like that, only smaller and do behind the stove and to the edge of the top cabinet and be done.

Some of these are great. That smoke glass subway tile behind the cooktop with the red knobs is awesome.

Kathi.

Do you mean this one? more than one pix came up on the link. I think I saw some at Floor decor and Lowes.

This is the pic I think you meant to post.

So I should stay away from the mosaic glass subway tile and away from the marble type tile because it would not compliment my quarts counter top.

The lady at the floor decor steered me away from porous tile for the back splash.

Correct. Mosaic pencil tile is very trendy and is out.

Porous tile is a lot of work, which is what marble is.

And that tile from that picture would look awesome!! I like that the grout blends with the tile but not totally. Try something like that and see what you think.

I would stop it at the end of the upper cabinets. See what they have for edges. You may have to do a Schluter edge and that has to go on first.

They have glass tile pencil edges and Schluter has a metal edge.

Ask about having your outlets moved under your upper cabinets. LeGrand has a system and there are others. I love mine. Backsplash has no outlets!!

no outlets meaning, I should not have an outlet? sorry if this is a silly question

for the rectangular tile that most people like and I like it too, I notice the store has ceramic and i see glass. Well I thought it was ceramic because, I saw red clay.

I’m on my way back to return the samples and I forgot to post these. Not sure why it came out sideways

Lowe’s has these, I believe these are those ones everyone that replied posted They liked

glass

ceramic

D75 looks nice, E 53 if it is grey enough. E 57 looks kinda dark.

You will have to find an edge for the glass tiles.

Not meaning no outlet, just tucked up under the upper cabinets.

Trying to post

These are the ones that someone posted, I found them at floor and decor. so from above and below I Need to pick one🤦🏽‍♀️

Hard to tell on my monitor. Your countertops really look beige and your cabinets really look white.

What do they look like during the day???

It’s full wihite. let me look for a better pix to tomorrow I’ll take better pix . my lightening is really bad l

My current favorite glass tile. Pure Silk by Island Stone (gloss on left and matte on right.) I am using it in the bathroom, but maybe in kitchen too.

Pure silk matte, Stratos matte, Breeze matte. They do have a little texture on them though.

Multiple sizes.

The counter looks beige or cream on my monitor too. My phone camera changes every picture I take.

How about Bergamot color on the far right? Sonoma Astoria and Market Collection both make it. Gloss or matte. Multiple sizes and shapes.

Sweet home, I don't think it is your phone. My computer does the same thing. I can't erase or correct letter sometimes. Many times, the first letter I type does not show up, and it will not let me add it. I haven't either back out of the page, or I nightlight it then hit Ctrl X to delete it. Highlight and delete does not work. Also I am not getting messages when someone has responded to a post that I began. Something is going on with Houzz. It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes, I answer a post and it never appears.

I feel like I’m getting some where, I eliminated the mosiac and the marble tile.

Okay im officially tiled out. So I can imagine the viewers. based on what was recommended, I was able to fine these, can you help from these. thanks again everyone

My vote is the top left tile.

Your vote is also part of the two I’m leaning with (but the longer one) cus I don’t think floor and decor has the smalol one. I got thst from lowes. I also like the polished peal.

Of the 2 pictures above, I like the left tile and I like the small glass tile on top. Either one of those. Sometimes you need to get several and put them on a white board and then see what you think in different lighting at different times of the day.

Also, be sure and switch out all of your lights to 4K LED lights. Lighting will change the colors of things also.

The two on the left are the same tile. one is smaller. Below is the glass tile.. it’s like a Taupe

Post a pic of your floor

Farther back so cabinet, counter and FLOOR is evident. Also is wall paint of the room staying the same!? All of that factors into the backsplash decision

Of all the options posted, I’m drawn to the herringbone from the original post.

I love the wavy gray tile too. I would get rid of the cool gray super shiny polished pearl. It's not right for your space.

Hi okay, I posted with the floor showing

hi. now, it could be your lighting, but those bottom ones appear too pink, the one above that too taupe/beige, the gray ceramic look ok, and a definite no on the blue or the white ones on the left.

it's perfectly fine to do real marble against that, it just has to be a certain type of marble and shape.

this is the carrara 1x4" herringbone. they have the same countertop as you and a busier looking floor. Looks fine together.

You could also try a white thassos marble. (if you seal it, you should be fine. your stove is already protected by a splash guard)

this is a tumbled carrara. the pattern is very muted in this style. you could do the 4x4 in the offset pattern (brick pattern) that is popular now.

HD has these (or Wayfair) 2x10 Polished Newport. comes in a few diff colors. (look at home depot online since they don't always carry them in the stores)

elongated hex

the gray ceramic you have will look similar to this

did you order any samples from Tilebar.com? they are 5 for $5 and free shipping.

this is their 3x12 Lancaster Bianco

Hi Beth

which one on my list are you calling gray and taupe?

thank you also for pix as well

the gray ceramic you have looks identical to the one I have too?

i think I saw the newport 2x10 at HD and Florida Decor

the one that I think I have that you called gray, is 2x10

out of the latest post we likes the 2x10 and I do like the 2x10 you have too called Newport.

the bottom one looks like the one I have

against the wall

the glass one looks too beige, more of a warm gray, or maybe it's your lighting.

Make sure your bulbs are in the 4000K range so you don't get yellow light

look at DiscountGlass TileStore. they have a ton of glass tiles

https://www.discountglasstilestore.com/glass-tile/

The platinum color is perfect w/your counter

https://www.discountglasstilestore.com/2-x-8-platinum-glass-subway-series-gloss-finish-6-85-per-square-foot/

they also have a light gray and a smoke color. look around over there too

this one is a metallic gray

look at the Bliss Artisan Glass in the gray.

I think I posted the dark gray on one of my test. looks very similar to the one you posted

but go to the link I sent you and look at all of the others. I couldn't get those pics to post.

platinum and the light gray are much lighter than that metallic gray picture

bottom line, none of your samples work except maybe that gray ceramic. so check w/tilebar and this other link I just posted and grab some samples

floor and decor has the white thassos

do it w/a gray grout for contrast

Tilebar has it too

Thasso, is that the one that can change yellow?

I’m supposed to get my tile done tomorrow :-(

the one you thought looked taupe is almost the same as the 2x-10 Gray you liked that I posted.

im in Lowe’s now and they have these below.

This one looks really nice and looks simailar to the one you posted

Ok. I like those. If u think the color looks good in person, then go with that.
( no. White thassos does not yellow. Not the true white thassos)

I went to the store and came home with the same tile🤦🏽‍♀️

You like the ceramic or the tile. The only thing is I would get the bigger one because I have a store credit at floor decor . is the

2x10 size okay? Thad the one in the middle

So since this tile has that wavy look, will the lines be straight with the grout

The rule setter will have to use proper spacers to get a straight line. But it will still have more of a handmade appearance to it.
The tile manufacture should have a suggested grout space for u. Look on the box or the specs online.
I’d also use a warm gray grout or a warmer white. ( Mapei has Warm Gray...and Lowe’s caries it)

Tile setter. Not rule.

I have to go back there to pick it up. I only have samples. so I’ll ask about grout. Also I think the one picked also is the one most people thought was the best. it grew on me. It’s a calm smooth design not busy or trendy. Doesn’t seem like it would go out of style. At first I thought it belonged in the bathroom. Or was an older model tile. But it actually grew on me

Since it seems like I’m going for the ceramic light gray tile, which Border would I use? Should the tile setter out the border first? I’m going to tell him to move the plug under the cabinets like mentioned before.

does everyone agrees that the light gray ceramic would be the best option?

today would be the day.

i have 4k lights but i still have the shadow under my cabinets

see if the tile you're buying has a bullnose edge on the long side and the short side. use the bullnose short side for the outer edges. (the long side bullnose will be used for any exposed top edges. if you don't have that, don't worry about it) if they don't have a bullnose, see if they have a matching pencil liner or quarter round.

Or you can use a Schluter edge for a neat finish

Corner bullnose on the end for top tile edge piece. all others are short end bullnose

no sliver cuts. this example shows the smallest your tile should ever be cut.

also notice the liner on top (if you don't have bullnose you can use these)

quarter round liner

Schluter Jolly edge

Hi Beth, this is wHar I have so far. we used the nickel finish edge on the side.

I picked the warm gray as recommended as well

ill post a pix today

That is going to look great!! Good choice!

I’m so glad I picked This classic look vs the mosiac and glass. I’m sooooooooo happy! This style will live Forever. so nice clean and sleek! Thank you every one!

i used everything that was recommended

It looks wonderful!!! Congratulations!

Thank you Kathi

Did you have any issues with grouting? I read somewhere else that this tile (Villa Artisan) can't use spacers and you need thicker grout lines for it. My husband is planning on doing this himself so I am looking for advice.

Diana, you can use spacers. if the tiles have that handmade look, the edges are not going to be exactly uniform from one tile to another. you won't be able to do 1/32" grout lines, but 1/16 is fine. in fact, on the specs of the tile, its says "1/16" grout line suggested"

So, I don't know what you read, but it was incorrect.

inspect all the tiles before they go on the wall. put aside obvious bowed tiles or tiles w/really irregular edges.

do a dry layout on the floor first, so you an see how the pattern is going to lay out. you don't want tiny slivers in the corners or on edges. for the outer corners, use a Schluter Jolly or the matching pencil liners.
