Here is a poor attempt but maybe can give you an idea?

Nice job aktillery!

JSmith321 - please take pictures of your kitchen taken from straight on (not at an angle), and post pictures of tiles you like (again, taken from straight on). I'll be glad to take a shot at these for you.

Thanks so much!! That really helps a lot! Here is a better picture of part of the kitchen straight on and a couple of the backsplashes we're trying to decide between. Thanks again!

A wider angle taken straight on.

Travertine tile

Ivory glass

Taupe glass

Another taupe glass with greens in it

Last one... travertine in herringbone.

sample 1

Sample 2
the other picks/colors are littler harder for me to photoshop

sample three - tile found online... needed something with a little more color to make photoshop easier.. hope this all helps. Enjoy. Kitchen looks beautiful :)

Thank you so much for your help! It's very much appreciated.

I think the solid taupe glass looks best so far. As much as I love the herringbone and travertine stone look, they seem too busy with the counters and the ivory makes everything a bit too washed out.

Thanks for helping me avoid making a bad choice!

I think you're right on. I'm a big believer that busy counter tops and busy backsplashes almost always clash... So that's another reason I wanted to add sample three, because if it were me, I'd go with a clean and simple glass backsplash. Be sure to post pics when it's done :)
