Actually, it is QUITE possible to have the coveted glass tile in your kitchen backsplash — even if you have a stringent budget!  American Olean, not known for tile, but for plumbing fixtures themselves, introduced this series, and the options are smart-looking, indeed.

Take a look:  It would be hard not to love this mosaic, called “Meadow Breeze”, with the striations and varying background colors.  I could easily see this great-looking tile in a “natural” kitchen environment, since the greens complement natural woods so beautifully.  These would also sparkle with such tones are rich browny-reds, golden tones and all manner of beiges.  I like to do unusual things with tile, so could see these laid vertically (up and down) with borders top and bottom.  Another cool way to use them is in small sections mixed with plainer glass tiles.

 These inspire me!!!!  How I love the blues and greens combined .. .. have them in my own kitchen in a different type of glass mosaic, and after 11 years with them, love them as much as the day they were installed.  To me, these show the rich colors of the constantly moving seas, just a short distance away from my own home in Mt. Pleasant.  Ranging throughout the spectrum of blues and greens, one can choose any of the colors therein to use as wall and ceiling colors, pulling out any others for countertops, artwork, accents and much more. This is known as “Peaceful Seas.”

The broad variety of fully colored tile all the way down to a nearly-clear tile make all of these collections exciting!
