Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

We are looking for suggestions for wall color and we aren’t afraid of color (liking the deep & luxurious family of colors by CIL), although we don’t know exactly what are our style is?? We are in a fairly new home with white baseboards and ceiling; the floors are a light oaky laminate. We have an open concept with our living room, dining room and kitchen, and all these rooms get a lot of sunlight. I attempted to attach a picture of these rooms as well, but was unable.
In the kitchen backsplash ideas, the cabinets are light oak as well and the coun

tertops are a lighter grey with some speckles. Our appliances are stainless steel. Our current kitchen table is a light pine (do you see the trend here?). Our living room furniture is a dark burgundy leather couch, sage green chaise and dark brown coffee/end tables.
We would like to have an accent wall (long wall connecting living to dining room) and we like either the Pepper Spice or Cigar brown by CIL. What would be a good color to use on other walls? Do you have any other color combination suggestions? Also, would it work if I used the accent wall color on the kitchen backsplash ideas as well?
thanks,

Hi, we recently installed Sued Brown Granite in our kitchen and now are looking to replace our backsplash. We are unsure on the style and color of backsplash we should install and would like some advice. I have placed some pictures of the kitchen and flooring on Flickr:

Thanks in advance!

We are in process of replacing kitchen counter-top with granite slab. Is it okay to replace the back-splash also with granite slab? Is that normal trend? what are advantages and disadvantages of using granite slab for back-splash instead of using tile.
Repeat question: can I the granite slab, be cut, and used on the back-wall in the kitchen? granite slabs are 3/4" in thickness.
Contractor is advising use same granite slab on counter top and back-wall, instead of using back-splash tiles. Is this technically okay?

Is Tumble stones tiles a good selection for a kitchen backsplash and if so how often does it need to be sealed?

My installer did not seal my travertine before he grouted it about one week ago and he put a sealer on just the bottom grout around the sink area! Can I still seal my natural stone?

1st let me say that my husband & I get along great & are best friends UNLESS . . . we have to work on a project together. We almost killed each other moving into this house & the D word even came up which we laugh about today but it was not good. So now we’re remodeling the kitchen (flooring, countertops, new sink, backsplash) and he thinks it would be a GREAT idea to do this together. I’m a planner & researcher while he jumps right in & then the cussing & slamming ensues. Maybe a little odd for a girl but I actually used to lay tile for a living. Anyway our neighbor quoted us 00 for labor so we need to buy all the materials and do the demo ourselves which in itself is going to lead to some heated arguments I would suspect. How can I get him to go with the neighbor without hurting his feelings or making him feel like I don’t trust his work or ability? I’m the one paying for it anyway so he’s not coming out of pocket for any of this. He’s just trying to save me some money and do a project together. Or should I just be honest about the reason & tell him we simply don’t get along & I see bad things coming out of this? He’s so excited about it
It’s not about the colors or design ideas. He trusts me completely with that. It’s the actual work. He turns into a demon & starts screaming at me if something goes wrong on his end. Like he’ll break something or screw something up really bad & then yell at me because he’s frustrated.
Okay maybe I need to develop a better sense of humor about this then. I guess it’s because he works from home & gets bored sometimes so a project is really fun for him while I work constantly & a project for me is just added stress & time I don’t have. I do love the man though LOL!!

What are some good DIY ideas for a kitchen backsplash? I’m looking for something that is also budget friendly and fairly easy to install, but will add some value to my kitchen. I was originally looking at "tin" paneling, but can’t quite find a good color match. I have antique brass light fixtures and cabinet knobs / drawer pulls and black appliances. There is currently no backsplash. Any suggestions?

I want to make a design diagonally with white and blue tiles probably 4 inch. Can someone give me a brief overview of what I need to do stepwise to make this happen?
