We had a chance to pop out to Saltillo Imports today to check out their tile assortment. Their selection is fantastic and we found what we were looking for. I was pretty sure that I wanted to go with a Carrara Marble but wasn’t 100% on what size or pattern. We found a 3 x 8″ elongated subway tile which will look fantastic with our white cupboards and concrete grey coloured Caesar Stone countertop (at least that’s my selection for today!). The price is $16.96 per 1.33 sq ft.
We’re still debating whether or not to go with honed marble- I’m leaning towards not honing it so that it has a little shine.

The white carrera marble is beautiful and very clean looking. A little shine can be nice

Thanks for your post Linda. It’s always nice to hear someone else’s opinion.

Probably 2 late for my 2 cents, but look around your kitchen. Do you have any shiny surfaces already? Stainless steel appliances, glass cabinets, shiny countertop?? If you have a lot of shine already maybe consider honed as the backsplash looks right at you as a vertical surface.

Good point. We still haven’t ordered it as the carry it in stock. I thought I would wait until the kitchen is installed for the very reasons that you mention above. Thanks!
