splish splash...

Backsplash!

We've pulled the trigger and bought the backsplash tile this weekend. It was a two hour adventure in the Tile Store, but we walked out victorious. We looked at slate, glass, quartzite and finally settled on tan marble with a mosaic accent. You can see our cabinet color, a sample piece of the butcher block and the counter refinishing swatches in the picture for perspective.


The idea is to put up a 3 inch strip of marble, then a two inch accent strip and the the rest marble. Sort of like the picture below, but with the accent strip a little lower down (and 12in marble tiles instead of the little ones they have)



Now we just have to find a weekend to get it done :)
