Are the flooring and window treatment changing? What color are the walls? Is this an open concept space where other rooms can be seen from it? If so, what colors are in those rooms? May we see photos of the entire room - all walls and furniture you plan to use? That will help us determine what granite and backsplash will work with all of it.

HI -- I know you only asked about granite and backsplash but granite is expensive and I worry it is a waste of money putting it on old cabinets . I also question the kitchen layout too. Perhaps doing more of a remodel will justify the cost of putting granite in.

I agree with the lighter cabinets for the upper and the darker for the lower. I really love the look of this tile for your backsplash but there is no info given, therefore, cannot tell you what it is. http://houzz.com/photos/653687

Shelves above the stove , just one more thing to clean, whatever you put there gets filthy. Love the blue color, the nice thing is in this space you could use any color. I love glass subway tiles they are timeless and come in some wonderful colors.That penquin paper is fun , how about in the bathroom or a childs room.

Do you have wood floors elsewhere if so use the wood in the kitchen too.

Don't be swerved away from hand painted tiles! The best way to add colour and originality (I make hand painted tiles so I may be biased). I would take the tiles to just under the bottom shelf, and up to the hod. We have had tiles behind our cooker for 21 years, and we don't find the grout staying clean a problem. By the way - I think subway tiles will look dated in a few years, as anything bang on trend tends to do.

I would not advise putting granite on these older cabinets. 180FX laminate with the ideal bullnose edge will fool any non professional. Save till you can do it right. (I love the vintage look of the cabinets)

I think your kitchen is awesome as it is. I really dig that pink tile and the funky old cabinets. I'm not saying you shouldn't change it---just that I think it's pretty nifty.
