We just went through this decision with the same granite. We chose a marble subway tile that has mostly cream, gold, tan -- didn't want anything too busy between the granite and our oak cabinets.

Someone on the decorating forum very kindly did a mockup for me -- scroll through the linked thread to see it.

We'll be getting it installed sometime this or next week.

Thank you and please post your pictures when done. We are just starting the demo 4-13. I don't want anything too busy either. If I have enough granite, I will probably put some behind the range top. Easier to clean I think.

I have the same granite, ss appliances, med. tone stained alder cabinets, hickory floors & a cafe brown silgranit sink. We went with a 3 x 6 tumbled marble. I love it. I too wanted something subtle since I had so many other patterns in there.

what color is grout in backsplash?

Nice cabinets! What knobs and pulls are used? Are they weathered nickel?

We really liked this back splash...what kind/name is it please?

Love your backsplash tile. Please provide any details on brand/color. Thank you. Email address is schelm4u@hotmail.com
