I’ve been pondering doing a kitchen backsplash for several months.  I patiently went through two different batches of samples.  I loved the flecks in Norway Alta.  I was sold after seeing the image of Norway Alta, as installed, with its shade variations (not evident in the small 4x4 sample).  I installed this by myself and while I had a few measuring and cutting errors, I found this style very forgiving as I was able to “patch” the small errant cuts.   I’m very happy with the end result.  And I did choose the easy route by not taking the backsplash all the way up into the cabinets.  I wasn’t up for THAT much cutting!!!
