It's done!

I came home from work today to a completed backsplash! While we were at work, my dad manned the house while the installers grouted the backsplash. It looks amazing and totally changes the look of the kitchen. I am very impressed with the company's work and helpfulness. If anyone needs granite or tilework done, go to Venezia (in Ridgefield, CT and talk to Fabiano) or La Pietra (in Brookfield, CT and talk to Fabio). We worked with both companies (the owners are cousins) and they were very helpful.

an upclose look at the granite and backsplash together...

The granite is called Giallo Ornamental. The backsplash is travertine cushion 4x4 and 3x6 tiles, with a glass tile and natural stone inlay.

Behind the stove is a pattern of all glass/natural stone tiles...not too much glass tile,

but enough to make it look interesting and not "cookie cutter".
