Granite countertops and kitchen tile backsplashes

April 19th, 2007 by Kenric

Through the use of Hittail, I found out that the images from my guide to tiling a kitchen backsplash were getting many hits from the search results of tiling a kitchen backsplash and granite counters with tiled backsplashes

It occurred to me that many people are always searching online for ideas and patterns for their backsplashes.  Every time I go visit a model home I always take pictures of tile patterns and I have an extensive collection on pictures now.  There’s no sense in letting them sit on my hard drive any longer.

So begins a new series on my blog, Pictures of kitchen tile backsplashes.

This set was taken from a kitchen design catalog that I scanned

This is a relatively easy design with no difficult cuts.
