Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

i saw this gorgeous backsplash that was damask but it was a bloody fortune. i was wondering if there is a way to put wallpaper up and cover it with clear glass tiles or glueing wallpaper or paper to clear glass squares and then putting it up? i dont want it to look like an artsincrafts project i spent alot of money doing my kitchen and dont want it to look cheap. any interior decorators who know what to do?

The wall is painted with a slight texture to it–not completely flat. Will this cause major problems or will the thinset be able to even things out enough? I am hoping not to have to sand down the whole wall… Also, we have lots of outlets in the wall, and one of them is 2/3 on and 1/3 off the area we plan to tile–I see that most videos show removing the faceplates and tiling up to the hole and then replacing the plate, but if we do that on this particular (3 switch) plate, the plate will be a centimeter off the wall on the righthand end with nothing behind it. Any suggestions? This will be my first tiling project…hoping the challenges presented by widowsills and outlets won’t be insurmountable…
I think we’ll just tile around that one outlet and under the rest, won’t be perfect but it will work… Some of the tiles are see through, so we had planned on smoothing the thinset, which is what most of the information I have read said to do–the only concusing statement was about the grooves making up fr the texured plaster–since I’m smoothing the grooves out after I apply the thinset (again, there seem to be discrepancies in whether it is ok to use mastic or not–we just got thinset), will the texture then be a problem?
I did see one video that showed how to cut behind the windowsill–nifty, will have to see if we can borrow a tool for that.
One other question on which I have found discrepancies–how do you feel about corners? Run one line of tile all the way into the corner and start the next overlapping it (with a spacer, of course), or have the 2 sheets come together on the edges and have a wedge of thinset filling the tiny corner behind them?

I need to a new kitchen backsplash and tile floor, and I am in the North Atlanta, Ga area. I need some recommendations, and preferably a website with images. Licensed only!!

I bought 12×12 stone and glass tile to put up a backsplash in my kitchen since it’s the cool new thing. I was wondering how exactly I put it up, I know I have to buy grout…Anyone do it lately that they could give me some tips!?

My kitchen has dark granite countertops (blue pearl granite) and pale blonde wood cabinetry. I would like to install backsplash tiles. I’m not sure which colors would go well. Are there any rules for this?

Remodeling the kitchen and just wondering if for a backsplash you could put up tile just behind the stove and paint the rest of the space between the counter and the cabinets. I was thinking this tile:

With the rest of the space painted a red(ish) color and then the rest of the kitchen tan, with a brushed technique that makes it look like it has a texture.
Also if i just put up the tile behind the stove will it look to monotnous with just one pattern tile?
Thank you in advance:-)

I really don’t want to do it myself.

We are in the process of repainting the kitchen and would like to add a backsplash. The cabinets are a light color and we are painting the walls a cream and terra cotta color. we are trying to avoid the whole grouting issue but would like to add a backsplash and keep the cost low. any ideas?? someone had told us about some kind of laminate sheets as backsplash???
