I like it very much. Your granite is dark but not busy and the dark color in the mosaic tile picks up on the granite color beautifully. Great choice!

(I am getting an error on the shutterfly site so I can't view the second picture in a larger size)

I like it alot! Warm, traditional with a contemporary twist, and matches the cabs/countertops beautifully. Congratulation on a job well done!

I love the mosiac. Would you be willing to share the name and manufacturer?

When I saw the first picture, I thought, that mosaic looks perfect, why not just go with that. But then I do like the photo-shopped 5" strip with the travetine brick too. I'm assuming that 5" is two strips of the mosaic pattern? Looks like an awesome match for your granite!

I love your design! Please do post the name/make of the mosaic. We still need to tile around our master br fireplace and I think that might work.

We also combined travertine tiles with glass mosiacs for our old world kitchen

Love it. It looks perfect.

I really like your backsplash choices. The colors are beautiful and I hope that you will share what the name of the mosaic is...it's yummy!

Just 2 comments: going soley by your photshopped images, I like the layout on the left better. Also, I would consider adding a listello between the brick and the mosaic to help define the design. (I think that's what they call the long skinny 'border' pieces of tile.)

It's really going to be beautiful!

Do you have Venetian Gold granite? It looks like ours. I am having a hard time putting a color together, and I was looking at the glass inserts but they were too red. What color tile and glass do you have, and where did you get it? It looks great.

Love the material selections - the mosaic really ties into the granite well. I would lower the mosaic so that it runs completely under the window - perhaps one row of 3" high brick, the mosaic, and then 3 rows of 3 " brick. Then the backsplash is not cut in half and the mosaic can run in a continuous line.

Also like busybme's idea for the skinny border tile - think she means something like what marciab10 shows above.

Regio makes a nice mosaic tile that has glass inserts. The glass is frosted so blends so well with tumbled travertine. I'll be using it with my 4" tiles as an accent strip.

Our granite is Persian Sand. I think its similar to Venetian Gold.

We got all our backsplash tile from The Tile Shop. I can't find the receipt with the exact names of what we bought there, but the strips with the glass, we 'modified'. They orignally had light green glass tiles in them, which we didn't like, so we found a sheet of small amber glass tiles, and replaced the green with the amber. Worked great!
