This could go well with the brick and cabinet color. ![http://www.tilerestorationcenter.com/images/floaters/jpegs/backsplash.jpg](http://www.tilerestorationcenter.com/images/floaters/jpegs/backsplash.jpg) ---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ---------- This looks sweet, but I feel like you would have to cover the brick with it as well. ![http://www.norstone.com.au/images/Ochre%20RP%20Backsplash.jpg](http://www.norstone.com.au/images/Ochre%20RP%20Backsplash.jpg) ---

If you want countertops with a big, busy grain pattern then I would keep the backsplash fairly simple so they aren’t competing with each other. ---

Stone backsplash would be a bitch to clean if you splatter something on it. ---

All super cool ideas. Yeah I am leaning towardone of the more unique styles of granite/counters which in general cost more which is why I figured $100+per sqft. I would probably do a more simple backsplash as jager pointed out to go along with it. This home is not a “starter” home it is something I plan to be in for quite some time.(famous last words) ---

I forgot to mention that CFM won’t give you a price on anything unless you’re getting work done by a contractor because they are a wholesaler. the house we are doing now ended up being 1000$ more at CFM than at buffalogranite… but it still never hurts to check around. ---
