Tina and I have been trying to figure out what tile (color, size, etc.) we want to use for our backsplash in our new kitchen. We've been having trouble, but I think we decided on smaller tiles (approx 1 inch squares) since we don't have a lot of space to work with. We took a few samples home to get a feel for the colors and I mocked up some pics to sort of show the differences.

I wasn't able to get that link to work, so if you can't try this one.

Anybody have any suggestions on what looks best? Or do you have other recommendations outside of these three?

hmmm.... as soon as your link actually works, maybe we can tell you ;)
You're fortunate that your tree didn't do more damage!
As for the tile, I like the third selection the best, but why did you go for small tile instead of the large?

I would rank the selections this way:
1. Quartz #2
2. Copper Rust
3. Quartz #1
But, I'm not a decorator, so don't consider my opinion too seriously!

We decided to go with the smaller tile for a couple of reasons. The guy at the tile store thought that since we were dealing with such a small space the smaller tiles would look better and the 4x4 tables were not as in style as the smaller tiles therefore the selection was more limited.
I think the rust copper looks nice because you have black accents on your stainless steal app. and lighter cabinets and the tile ties them together nice. Any tile will be an improvment over that wallpaper :)

hmm...definately love the copper/rust!
ties in the appliances and such.
think the small squares are a great idea for the space.
the whole kitchen looks great! i love it!

I like the copper rust. I like the small tiles too. The lighter looking tiles just seem to fade into the cabinets. I like the contrast of the copper rust with the cabinets and how it pulls out the black from your appliances. If I had to choose between the quartz I would choose #1.
