| I have natural cherry cabinets with tuba tuba granite. I really look of subway tiles but can't seem to find any examples.
Does anyone have this or any other ideas? I know many consider uba tuba outdated but mine is new and I happen to think it looks nice. Thanks! |

| Hi cmm1- I have honey oak (I know, I know it was an update not a total gut) cabinets with uba tuba and slate subway styled tiles - they are the 2x4 (slightly smaller) size. If you want a pic let me know. |

| Thanks Autumn I actually saved your kitchen to my I pad after you posted a reply to a buying and selling forum on kitchen updates for resale. Your kitchen is about the same era as mine and we updated the counters but kept the cabinets since they were in good shape. I really like your slate tiles. Any chance you remember the name? If I can recall you were starting a new build? If so I can bet you will be a regular on the kitchen forum |

| cmm1-thanks - very similar circumstances. Our oak cabinets are good quality we couldn't see ripping them out. It was from FloridaTile - link is below. We ended up with the African Gold but the California gold was really nice also...it was a tough choice and I think either would have worked nicely. I am sure I will be a regular, lol. I actually am a big time lurker and have been from the time we did our little update but surely once we get closer to the build I will be more active. I do have a few layouts I have been tinkering with to post, just haven't done it it yet. Good luck. I really like our uba tuba also. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tile

| Forgot to add - scroll down to near the bottom it's the 2x4 tumbled slate. It's called Pietra Art Slate. It comes in many sizes and is on a mesh which really made installation much simpler. |

Here is one example I found with painted cabinets but I think you could use this same tile with natural cherry cabinets.  Have you thought about using glass subway tiles in either a gold/tan or blue/ green color to pick up the colors in the Uba Tuba. |

| Thanks badger gal. I like the tan subway tiles-trying to steer away from green-we plan on selling within a few years so tan seems more neutral. Your mixed mosaic is beautiful too. Did you use it all over or is it an accent? |

Cmm1, my tile is just behind my cooktop/ vent hood. My kitchen is contemporary in style and I wasn't concerned about resale. Here is one picture of it. I think if you click on the picture it takes you to my photo bucket album if you want to see any more pictures.  |
