I think it’s safe to say that the most used room in our home, is without question, the kitchen. I’d be willing to bet it’s the same for most people. The kitchen is where meals are cooked, snacks are kept, grocery lists are written, and it’s the gathering place for friends and family.  With that being said, your kitchen should be a place you enjoy being!

Around the nine year mark, our kitchen started to feel outdated, boring, and dark. Our home was a spec home, so we didn’t have the opportunity to chose any of the colors, cupboards, counter tops, carpet, etc. When we first moved in, and for years after, I loved the dark baseboards and lighter walls, the black granite counter tops, and wood cupboards. Fast forward 9 years, and I was done.  I wanted light and bright walls, white cupboards, and a kitchen backsplash!

After convincing my husband, that we did indeed need a kitchen makeover, we started the kitchen re-decorating process. We knew we wanted to keep the cost down, so we kept the current cabinets and painted them white. I added gold hardware, and just like that, new cupboards! We also kept the black granite counter tops, which actually look great against the white cupboards and light gray walls.  Now for that kitchen backsplash that I’ve always wanted!

Since we ended up keeping the black counter tops, I wasn’t sure what color and style of backsplash to choose. Should I go light to match the cupboards and baseboards, or slightly darker to balance things out? Subway tile, vinyl tile, brick, or marble? Decisions, decisions, and let me just say, I’m the worst at making decisions! So fast forward almost a year, and I’m still without a kitchen backsplash.

Lucky for me, I came across, Mosaic Tile Outlet online, and began looking at what they had to offer.  They specialize in backsplashes, they are reasonably priced, and have hundreds of styles and colors to choose from.  After scouring their website, I was able to narrow it down to my 7 favorites. The best part, they send out samples so you can actually see what you’ll be getting!

Here are the samples I requested:

Classic 2×6 Subway Gray Glossy Glass Mosaic Tile

4 Pack Peel and Stick Linear Brick Grey White Stone-Like Vinyl Mosaic Tile

Modern Linear Gray White Glossy Metal Mosaic Tile

Modern Linear White Polished Thassos Marble Mosaic Tile

Peel and Stick Classic Linear White Gray Carrara Marble Mosaic Tile

Modern Designer Gray and White Natural Thassos Carrara Marble Mosaic Tile

Modern Linear Gray Glossy Wood Grain Recycled Glass Mosaic Tile

As you can see, most of the samples I chose were in the gray family. I added in a few darker samples as well as a few lighter ones, just to keep my bases covered.  Once I held each sample up to my wall, I was quickly able to decide on my 2 favorites, the Peel and Stick Linear Brick Grey White Stone-Like Vinyl Mosaic Tile and the Modern Linear White Polished Thassos Marble Mosaic Tile. Both of these options offer simplicity and completeness that will end up providing us with an inviting and neutral cooking space for years to come.
