Well the sun came up today. Half the nation is upset, the other half is celebrating, we knew that would happen. My hope is for healing and a more united country now that the election is over. Now it?s time to get back to business!
This week, I went searching for backsplashes for the two kitchens I?m working on for my transitional housing projects for a non-profit. For one kitchen with white cabinets, I chose a gray hexagon backsplash. The second galley kitchen will have dark wood base cabinets and white upper cabinets, and for that space I want to do a white backsplash but not in the basic subway style.
I?m drawn to clean white geometric backsplashes with movement: raised shapes, swirls, circles, hexagons, and quadrilaterals. (Still loving the white backsplash in this kitchen so much).  
 
 
 
 
 
A white brick pattern will always be timeless but I went in search of something different and discovered some good ones for bathrooms and kitchens.
These mosaics are all under $15/sheet, they?ll give you clean white look and are a nice alternative to the basic 3 x 6? subway tile. I ordered a few samples for my project to see which one I like best. With white geometric mosaic tile, stick with white grout for subtlety, or opt for darker grout to make the pattern pop.
