I realized today that it has been almost 2 months since we got our awesome new counter tops installed. We still don’t have a decision on our back splash, and so it basically still looks like this in our kitchen today:

We thought we had decided, and even bought the tiles and supplies to do it. However, we just couldn’t get ourselves to get it done. Finally we asked the important question, were we avoiding it because we just weren’t that excited with the subway tiles we picked out? Yes indeed. I know subway tiles are very popular, and they were the only tiles that seemed to work even a little bit with our cabinet, counter, and paint. However, it was going to look basically like it does in the photo. Lots and lots of white. Add in the fact that neither of us are that in love with subway tiles, and you can see why we haven’t been able to commit to doing it.

So what to do now? We have looked and looked at other tile choices with no luck. We can’t install a back splash out of the counter material since that happens before the counter goes on (a little late). We have considered taking the Venetian plaster on our walls all the way down to the counter, but that poses waterproofing questions. So, as of right now, we have awesome counters, easy to clean and fun to look at… and a still unfinished kitchen.
