I'm pretty sure I have some different pics closer to what I'm thinking of doing. 'll post again when I find them. Hi Kathy, Here are some pictures of my backsplash. The thing that looks black is actually red glass strips that I cut from stained glass. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/kitchengodswife/kitchen/behindrangeside.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/kitchengodswife/kitchen/cornerdetail.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/kitchengodswife/kitchen/corner.jpg Hope that helps! I have more pictures but have to dig them up if you need them. Lisa Hi Amy,

Hi Kathy,

Here are some pictures of my backsplash. The thing that looks black is
actually red glass strips that I cut from stained glass.

I wouldn't suppose you have any pictures that gave you the idea for the subway tile and glass tile design? We've been thinking of quilted stainless - diner style, but we're not yet sold on the idea. I think we're having trouble visualizing. We used the 6940 SKYLARK BOOMERANG formica and will be putting in Congoleum VCT flooring. The CX-91 White/ Deep Blue is what we went with We'd love to find some period appropriate cabinets for the side of the kitchen that was apparently remodeled at some point in the 80's. But, finding wood cabinets is proving to be rather difficult. And, we love the 1953 Western Holly we picked up from a couple selling the one that was original to their house because they were remodeling for the modern. Anyway, I would love some advice or if you could direct me to some websites that helped you make your decisions that would be terrific! Thanks! ~Amy Hi Kathy,
