Jewelldday: Thank you so much - I'm so happy with the end result. The tile is from Ann Sacks Tile. On the floor is the white thassos w/ming green basketweave, ming green mini-bricks & white thassos on the perimeter. On the walls in the shower is white thassos 6 x 12 & a thassos & ming green mosaic liner called Agape. Another company I liked was Akdo Tile - they have lot's of great stone mosaics too. Goodluck and post some pictures when you can! Flyleft: My tile contractor was pleasant but not thrilled. He screwed up my subway tile backsplash in the kitchen and I think maybe he was feeling bad about that - not sure (posted a thread about that topic on the kitchen forum). It was a big relief when it was grouted and done:)

"I see lots of backsplashes where the tile sits right on top of the countertop with no room for grout or caulking." A joint the same width as the grout joints should be there, and caulked. If caulk that matches the grout is used it often looks very good.

lol morton i'm up...the pain meds aren't helping me enough to sleep so i thought i'd distract myself with kitchens :) my mosaci isn't the same size as my hood/range so i'm framing it to fit the open space. since i have stainless counters on that wall. i ended at the range size, ans will have a little trim work done at the top of the hood so it fills the space appropriately. but...when that counter was going to be granite, i had planned on centering the chickens, and then making my framr more ellaborate, extending it the width of the wall in a kind of dropped dpwn pattern...a little curvy and soft, flowing right down into the counters with nordic black antique granite cut to fit. i think that doing something fun and contemporary to work in your hood and the expanse of wall you'll have free would be really cool. i think you don't see that as much because it takes immmagination...and sometimes more cash :) but its a great option! do you have an initial mosaic in mind to start with? don't tell me chickens :oP i'm not that inspiring LOL (but thank you for your nice thoughts)

I'd honestly be more concerned with how the angle is handled than grout. With multi-material mosaics each one can cut differently as each material is different. They should be able to get an angle but it's never the easiest thing because the tiles have to meet & match perfectly. I would expect that would mean 1/2 tile on each half of the corner -- so it looks like a single tile. I'd surely ask in advance at Bridge. Making that come out exactly is no easy thing. They might want to start there and work towards the corners where a different cut might be less noticeable as it's adjacent to molding or dying into the wall. I learned this because I had a 4 color tile design on my splash and it was handmade tile and not even in size. It also had to turn a corner. It might possibly be the setter wants to put a vertical line of pencil pieces over the corner and tile up to it. That slightly blunts the edge. They could use pencil pieces from the range (if they exist). Or, they could do a line of single mosaics of one material cut off the mesh (not as nice but acceptable if done well). Only way to know how it will cut is if someone had worked with that exact mosaic before. But I wouldn't want to have the setter come to that realization with wet thinset on the wall IYKWIM. Or think a crappy looking or uneven joint there will be ok when it certainly won't because it wasn't discussed and they started at the back. If someone tells you bullnose should go there, tell them you think it's too "bathroomy" and what else can you do? Might be a good idea to loop in the contractor in advance. He likely isn't focused on any of these issues. I'd ask if he could look at the time and the angle and tell you how it will look and if any special tile pieces might be needed.
