The "Birch Trees" design sounds very interesting, specially if you install it behind the range hood vent and all the way up to meet the ceiling. Any way we can see a bigger sample? Is it a printed detail on glass? or and embossed glass detail?? You already have a "Wood Look" on the floor, visually communicating wood by way of branches would only reinforce the design. I would however consider an oiled bronze, or dark iron color/look (match hardware hinges/drawer pulls) as "Trim" between the subway tile and the "Branches" tiles. Also if the Birch design is printed on glass you will want to carefully consider what type of backing/adhesive you install it with as it will show through the glass.

Awesome!! Actually macymacmaples, the mirror will date more than the white glass. My cupboards will be white handleless polyurethane...and I'm gonna choose Ceasartsone Calacatta Nuvo as my benchtops :) hagan - My painter (which is my cousin) lol, also wants me to do vivid white ceilings..but I'm thinking of just keeping it the same and doing Natural white ceilings too as I don't like contrast...I prefer it to all blend....Dunno yet tho, will keep u updated ;)

Lol Mel N...that is exactly what I think about mirror splashbacks...they look great in the show-home kind of tidy homes we see on websites and magazines...but transfer to real life and one pile of mess becomes two piles, one pile of unwashed dishes becomes two etc....but on the positive side it would make cleaning up very rewarding - you clear away one pile and two piles go!!

Hi, Neither is right or wrong. They just give a different look. If using a mirror I would choose the smoked. It looks classier and and I think it looks higher end/quality. It is also a softer version of the bottom colour and connects the upper and lower colours around the white. Cheers
