I like that tile but I don't think it works with your cabs and granite.

I think the small squares are a little too close to the size of the speckles in the granite...

Thank you for the responses. palimsest, that is an interesting point. Didn't think about it, but it makes so much sense. So perhaps larger tiles will look good?

I LOVE the tile...but, I agree with others, it doesn't work with the granite. The counter is busy and the tile would compete with it.

How about white glass subway tiles? They won't compete with the granite but they probably reflect light. I have also seen tempered glass painted on the wall side and cut to fit the backsplash area.

I love the idea of subway glass...

We went with a combination of sizes with travertine tile....similar top to yours but we do have the oak cabinets instead of maple or cherry. I felt this still had some interest with the different sizing and random lengths but was simple enough to not compete with the busy pattern of the granite.

Another closer shot.....
