chevron back splash



Hello, so we are sporting the new look and I am loving the change of pace around here.  It feels refreshing.  

We have an empty kitchen now and have seen the plumber, electrician, and cabinet maker in a matter of just a few days.  Today they will start putting in the new cabinets and I cannot wait to see it all in action.  I will try to update my instagram with some snap shots of everything if your interested.  I am still undecided on the back splash style, I love this chevron pattern but I am afraid I would get bored of it and long for something a little simpler.  We have chosen the Chenille Vein Cut Limestone for the back splash but the sizing is very modern at 36" long.  I think we will be cutting them down to 4" x 9" tiles and running them more like a subway tile.   Any thoughts?  What do you have in your kitchen?

I am at the same crossroads! stuck at choosing backsplash. I was going to go for a simple 3x6 arabescato carrara marble field tile. w/ 1/3 herringbone inset...but now I am second guessing myself...is it too boring? too safe? can I inject my personality into my backsplash ....Then I happened upon Artistictile dot com...and feel in love w/ their mosaics - esp. their arabesque shapes...check out toledo and perlamarmi.

problem is - they are very very expensive, as compared to regular ole 3x6 subway marble.....

I love the chevron pattern too, but running as a subway tile seems more timeless to me. Can't wait to see it finished!

The chevron pattern add such an interesting touch to the litchen. I really love it, as frankly I am a little tired of the subway patterns.
