When we bought our house, it was understood that we would be “eventually” remodeling the kitchen.  I like what we have ok, but it is darkish and I really wanted white, light and bright.  It wasn’t an option at the time, but it is in the near{ish} future.  Here are some pictures of some gorgeous backsplashes that I have been collecting recently.  You know, for when it is “go-time.”

Mosaic or Glass Tile.

This is so pretty.  I love the mosaic ceramic or glass tiles.  It’s still bright and busy, but looks great with the white counter tops.

Stones

This is also beautiful! I love tile that looks like stones. A great way to bring natural elements inside your home!

Subway Tiles

Classic white subway tile (in which I am a huge fan) and a design?  This is really exquisite.  But I am not the “design” type, so for me, I wouldn’t do any type of design.  I get too bored with things too easily.  I love the simplicity of the subway tile, though!

Red Brick

Red brick!  I love it.  Classic.  Timeless. Stunning.

Gray Ceramic Tiles

 I realize this isn’t a kitchen, but I love, love LOVE this.  Gray ceramic tiles with light grout.

Blue Ceramic Tile

It is safe to assume that I just love ceramic tiles. I love the airy vibe of these. Stunning!
