tile backsplash

[gja1000]

We looked at tile today for our backsplash. We will be having the dark formica you see in the pictures below put on our countertops. Right now it is only on a corner built in computer/desk area and on the center island. For whatever reasons, the previous owners didn't replace the old original gray counter tops below the cabinets. So, I'm going to have that done this summer. We will be putting tile on the backsplash and I have a couple of samples to show you. They are basically the same style of tile, each tile is a slightly different color so that when they are installed, the backsplash is not all uniform and all the same color. Really the only difference between the two solid colored tiles is that one is smooth and one is full of holes and divets (in some of the tile, not all). The holey tile looks very rustic and we really like that look. We will only put a few of the tile with the pattern up and they will be scattered about randomly.

So what do you think? The first pic is the smoother tile and the second pic is the tile with holes and divits.
