Carol-I went to Menards and bought a white and a med. gray (powder forms) and mixed them to get the color of gray I wanted. I still have a batch in a bucket, now tell me what I'll ever do with that? :)

Here are some pictures of the backsplash finally done. I used the Lowes glossy white subway tiles and created the centerpiece from remnants I got for free from a tile warehouse. It was a lot of work but turned out well I think. I went with an off-white epoxy grout because I didn't want to spend much money on the high quality sealant. It was weird to work with but I'm glad now to not have to worry about it.

Creede, that looks fantastic! That's probably what I'll do, as I'm aiming for a slightly more contemporary look. I also really like the white grout. Looks so clean! I also hope to incorporate a bit of glass tile in a spa blue.

Thought about stacking them. I would have liked it, may have been too sleek for hubby.

We did subway tiles in our last bathroom too, only stacked instead of brick patter. Super good deal for a clean looking tile!
Decorator Girl, I can send you some photos of the process, but I can't post them. You can email me at www.flipt@att.net and I'll send you the photos.

I went to Lowe's this past weekend to be sure they had these, and sure enough, they did! 22 cents each. Home Depot has them for 21 cents each, but the ones at Home Depot have a tiny bit of a gray tint to them when you compare them to the ones at Lowe's. It probably wouldn't be very noticeable, but just an FYI for anyone who's thinking about doing this project. The ones at Lowe's are a truer, crisper white.
I'm so anxious to get started on mine, but I need to do sooo much before I'm to the point where I can do tile.
