(this is a link to a photoalbum. i'm not sure why it is showing up as advertisemetn text!)

the only bit left to pick really is a backsplash. i was going to do stainless across the entire thing, but decided that would be too much so i'm looking for suggestions....

i'm really considering this shade of green...

that is, if that is your paint color you were referring to in the second link in your post?

I like those mosaics, all of them are really neat! You mentioned you were going to do stainless across the whole thing...are you still going to use any at all, or have you abandoned it completely?

What substance is your countertop? Looks very cool.

I like the last mosaic in your post, the one with the blue bits. Blue will pick up the stainless, green the wall and the beige the cabinets and floor.

formica brand.

Like Eva, I like the blue and the green in the last one; but would there be a way to combine the last two, so that you could get the darker brown/light beige combination with the cream tile, rather than the brown tile that matches the cabinets in that last one?

To my (completely untrained) eye, that would add some "pop" to all the other pale/neutral colors, while still staying in that family and paying homage to the cabinets. Of course, it depends on the color of your countertops, too -- maybe you intend that to be your "pop" color?

All that said, the link to the wall color didn't work for me, so I reserve the right to change my mind once the link is fixed, and (frankly) even if it isn't!

um, i'm not sure what shade of green. brighter than grass not as bright as lime...

or, if i go with that last backsplash..that color green.

I've used this glass mosaic numerous times - my bathroom, a friends condo - he had a tall beam 3' by 4' that separated his living area from teh kicthen and we covered it with this tile for a very very modern retro look. It came out very Jetsons - and in fact helped sell his condo (folks really loved the unusual use of tile to cover a wall...

In any event. I found some different sources that saved me considerable money and discovered one that even allows you to specify your own mix with changes in patterns over an area.. such as more green on bottom - more blue on top... etc. etc. Glass Mosaic Tile, Mosaic Blends and Gradients, Custom Glass Tile Design from Hakatai From what I undesrtand this is a relative of the Bizzaza people and he is undercutting their prices.

Coincidentally they just finished a warehouse/ factory for them here in Miami!
