I will soon have to make a decision and need some tile opinions!
Our house is currently a disaster zone of epic proportions I can’t even {or don’t want to } fully comprehend.  Our hardwood floor job has been delayed again {really all that has been done is the sledgehammering of our tile in our kitchen and entryway}.  Let’s just say there is a thick coat of dust on everything, regardless of how much I dust or vacuum.  Thankfully this is all temporary and will hopefully be worth it in the end.
Choosing Kitchen Backsplash
White Subway – the original ‘only’ option but I am worried it is overdone now:
White Moorish Tile {this is actually the cheapest alternative via Overstock} – the one I am currently leaning towards.  I would do this with white grout so that the shape isn’t as dramatic:
Carrera Marble subway tile – my least favorite, but it may help to make the white kitchen not quite so monotone:
Here are my newest mock-ups with the various options.  I guess it also gives away our latest paint color {Benjamin Moore’s Healing Aloe}.  Don’t worry – it isn’t quite so saturated or bright in real life – this is the paint chip overlay.  First I will show you the inspiration photo for the color from Caitlin Creer that I previously mentioned {the kitchen above with the Moorish Tile is in the same home} – the paint is the same as I used – a better representation than how it appears below.  See the full room here:
On to the Photoshop mock-ups.

Since our house is such a wreck, I’m trying to convince the husband to let me demo the backsplash now since we have no floors.  I really don’t want to have to do another demo for a LONG time!
What are your votes for the kitchen backsplash?  Any other great alternatives I haven’t thought of?
