If you move on this look now, you're acting on the trend at its early pre-mainstream phase. It's popular enough that you can find options at Canadian specialty retailers like Saltillo Imports (saltillo-tiles.com), but not so popular that the look is being trumpeted in big-box store catalogues and flyers. (Yet. The Home Depot does now carry one-inch-by-one-inch glass tiles.) While individual tastes vary, it's safe to estimate that if you install a backsplash of mini glass tiles today, they'll feel fresh for at least a decade.

Like the updated site, however, my only comment for improvement would be to add more pictures for inspiration in your articles! For example, this backsplash article...I was expecting to gather some ideas for inspiration for my own project, but there was only the one main picture. Just something to think about to reach your target audience. Thanks for a great magazine though!
I am moving from a house to a 1 bedroom apartment and am nervous because you can't paint in them or change a color scheme at all.I was wondering what to do to make a splash of color in each room.Was thinking of using placemats as a backsplash in kitchen? What abut a flat sheet on wall in livingroom onthe smaller wall? Any other suggestions? HELP!!!!
Stainless Steel Backsplashes are awesome, I installed one and it looks great. They are much more sanitary than stone or ceramic. Mine came from RIDALCO Industries in Ottawa,Ontario Canada. visit them at www.ridalco.com
I too was hoping for more pictures. What do you suggest as a backsplash for white cabinets and appliances. My table is dark cherry and so is the stair banister
