Why not the same as the counter top?

We bought some samples of the mosaic very close to the #2 of handymac suggestion. But when we put on the wall it looks too busy. My ideal backsplash would be not busy so when people walk in the kitchen the backsplash does not catch the attention (I want granite and cabinets keep the attention). But at the same time I don't want for the backsplash to be too flat and too simple.
I like the design #1 of handymac suggestion but I think it will make the kitchen too dark. My kitchen is not big, the cabinets are dark and the granite is not light either so I want to go with light backsplash.

We decided to put the line in the middle. But we had to put something else to make 18" tall so we don't need to cut each brick on the top. So we are going to put those strips you see on the picture. They look lighter in person than they are on the picture as well as the marble bricks.
The only choice left to make is what pattern make the bricks.
We are thinking about subway style, stack bond style or just random. Any advices?

I suggest subway tile, plain and simple - no line (too busy). If anything, make a tile "frame" above the stove, but think that through carefully if so.

It will look great, esp. when the undercab lights are shining on the countertop.

Yes I agree with you, Homebound, I like just subway tile and no line. My idea was just make brownish grouts to make it more interesting. But my husband WANTS that line and he is the one putting the back splash on the wall. Plus we already cut all the pieces for the line so we can not return it back.

We finally started putting the backsplash. I like the way it looks on the wall. But I am NOT sure about that line. Plus my husband want to move the outlets from the center to the top or bottom of the backsplash so they are not in the center of attention and not on the way of the line :(
He wants the outlets to be on the top row of the backsplash so you can not see it unless you sit or look under the cabinets. I want to move them on the bottom row so there will not be cords from the coffemaker, toaster, can opener etc showing out from the top of the backsplash all the way to the bottom.
Which way to go ? We still can take a couple of the bottom row bricks If we will put the outlets on the bottom row.
And what about the line?

Just to compare This is BEFORE

and AFTER

BEFORE on another side of the kitchen

And AFTER

I think we did pretty well for the budget. So far we spent 7K on everything - brand new stainless steel appliances ( french door refrigerator, slide-in gas range, extra quiet stainless inside and out dishwasher, top mount microwave), granite counter-tops and the windowsill, paint and varnish for the cabinets, stainless steel door pulls, new 16 gauge sink and faucet.

He's going to move the outlets now?? It's a bit late for that. Besides, they're at the proper height.

Well. He decided to move them on the top row. When I saw he is going to do that I thought it's better to have them on the bottom than on the top so the cords will not be appearing through the backsplash. He said he can take 2 bricks from the bottom row. So I guess it's time for a new decisions...
Honestly I am sick of all of these decisions - I made too many decisions for the last 3 weeks (specially when my decisions are not the same as my hubby's)

Maybe I can convince him on this kind of line... Is this one better than the big one we were talking before?

Also with what color of grout should we go?

We used a very similar tile for our backsplash. We raised up the outlets and turned them sideways. See below for the link to pictures posted on the kitchen forum. We used a medium brown grout because we liked seeing the pattern of the tiles. If you want a more homogenous look, use a lighter grout.
