Our counter is granite in Uba Tuba, a green shade. The tiles are porcelain and are smaller sizing to the floor, but the same tiles. The glass mix is a sheet that has pieces of the glass and tile already mixed in. (Sorry the photos are not the best, it's still too dark right now so the flash is throwing them off)

No wonder it looked familar! We were going to use that, but the granite place had a slab of an upgrade called Verde Butterfly that they offered us for the same price - similar colors but different pattern mix. Thanks for the close-ups - so helpful!

AG, the Tunas Green is gorgeous; love that green. Did you ever consider soapstone? It is seriously RATE, so not for everyone. The greatest thing is that you never need trivets, never need to seal it, and it never stains. It is supposed to scratch and not look pristine. Only for those who love faded worn in jeans and don't mind the darkness.

We have subway with a slight crackle that gives it a bit of depth. Grout is a dark gray to go with the soapstone.

I like the idea of subway tile with a dark green grout! I saw this recently with black and black countertops... it was just gorgeous! If my kitchen weren't so very white (and really, that's best for it), I'd be all over that.

Ok, I'm personally really enamoured of the idea of a cool fabric or paper behind glass: http://www.addicted2decorating.....glass.html

Oh, haha!! 'Fastest' kitchen reno in history!

We just our kitchen done and had the best intention of getting white subway tile but once we painted the kitchen a deep eggplant semigloss, we decided to wait on it.
