Same tile...two uses.

I really like these 1" x 1" mini glass tile sheets.
I took this photo in 2006 while touring the Utah Parade of Home show! I like the mix of contemporary and traditional elements with this fireplace.

I am dreaming of using it as a backsplash in my home. The Corian grayish countertop doesn't "go" with the backsplash in my opinion-disregard that part.

That is an eye sore of white outlets, cables, and dimmer switches! I always tell my clients to pay attention to your power and cable locations. Make sure you review the electricial plan in detail and mark it on the floor plan!

One of my favorite Interior Designers from HGTV, Candice Olsen, uses the 1" tiles too check out the links here:

A few tiles for a splash of color...

Don't have money or energy to tile your entire kitchen back splash right now?
How about picking up a few coordinating decorative tiles from Ross, T.J. Maxx, Lowe's, or Home Depot for a few bucks. I suggest buying 1-2 extra just in case you break one while cleaning!
How do you hang them?
Well, while you are at Home Depot buy a pack of picture hanging hardware and some gorilla glue (stronger super glue adhesive). Glue one picture hanger to the back of each tile and allow ample drying time. Hint-Line up each picture hanger evenly with the top edge of the tile so when you hang 3 in a row they look even! Go for it.
