The backsplash is the last choice to be made. I'm worried that tile would be too "permanent," but I don't think I could keep stainless clean.

I was told that the kitchen is "dark," (black appliances except for the ss wall of fridge) so can I use:

Karen,

OOOH I like the first one! With a darkish space, that looks like it would scatter the light and brighten it up! The second just looks a little dull to me.

the first is one of my favorite of the glass tiles, and prolly the only one i'd ever consider using. I LOVE the idea of these on the wall with the copper slate on the floor. plus they look great with the Adel MB
And, as you know, they uber reflective. i really like #1

Oh, one more thing. I was just reading some old articles on the Backsplash page and found a link with a picture of a similar tile (to #1) installed:

This might help to visualize the tile on a larger scale....

now, i know i chose #1 but i will say in defense of #2 they are beautiful in real life. i know why you chose it. i just don't know that the extra color introduction is necessary but that picture doesn't do it justice and would serve to brighten up the space.

i still pick #1 though
