Madmonk, I had to show you our handiwork since you were so helpful! I can now add Tile Installer to my level of expertise.. ha,ha.. okay, the way the camera angle looks, the tile on the closeup looks crooked but it's not.. (we used a laser)..

The colors aren't quite right in the pic either and I just put a sealer on it .. it will lighten a bit.

The granite is Emerald Pearl with abalone/pearl flecks and tan/gold colors running through it.

The Backsplash is multi-colored slate.




We had to take full diamonds off the 12 x 12 sheets and cut them in half to put on top and bottom.. by hand. Then we had to cut the Brick pieces..and the pewter rope. The Pewter rope (6 inches had to be placed perfectly as well.. we had about 75 pewter pieces.



Our kitchen is pretty big although it doesn't show on the pics..
We had 90 sq ft of granite and over 120 linear feet of backsplash. A lot of work!

Anyway, wanted to share with you how it turned out.. I love it! Thanks again!
