The backsplash is now mounted and awaiting grout, and damn it looks good. Since I had never done tile before it was a bit of an adventure.
The tile is glass but isn't clear like most glass tile. The clear stuff looked nice, but at prices from $20-42 a sq ft it was just a bit too pricy. I ended up deciding on the 'art deco' blend from www.mosaictilesupplies.com. It was face mounted to paper, and was on sale for about $8 a sq ft. Score! After buying the tile, the thinset, grout and tools to install the tile it, the cost for the back splash was about $300.
The tile goes on the backsplash between the upper and lower cabinets, as well as the space between the elevated bar counters.
Lessons learned:
Also, the foyer is now completely ripped out, with the electrical hanging beautifully from my ceiling... Now I need to figure out how to frame out the area and re-route the electrical.

Wow! That looks fabulous. I love the color scheme...it really "pops"!
Love the tile work! Let's see a picture from the kitchen entrance showing the tile and the gorgeous peridot color wall. Beautiful combination! Good choices Leigh! :-)
I knew you could do it Corey! The whole look of the kitchen really adds a modern complement to your old rowhouse. Colors are great.
I know Val will appreciate your spelling correction...
Corey, The kitchen with the new backsplash looks great. All of the design elements go well together. The remodeled kitchen definitely adds huge value to the house.
Your tile and your cabinets look great!
Wow, I love your backsplash, aweseom job. I'm considering doing this in my kitchen as well. I guess if you as an enginner can handle it, then I as an engineer can also figure it out, right?
I stumbled across your blog, and I just wanted to let you know:
We have the same kitchen. Exactly. Same counter tops, same tile style/color, same cabinets etc. Just a different layout!
You have great taste! Your tile work is great!
