Reply to: I have ss behind my range due to design considerations but chose copper for my backsplash material everywhere else; after 5 years, I've never looked back. It's as maintenance free & indestructible as anything I've encountered while looking good through it all. I use a lot of limes & always have a few pin-points of 'clean' copper showing but due to the uneven patina look, they don't stand out. FYI, my cabinets are black/green & aesthetically, copper provided contrast without being overwhelming. The pictures I've seen of coated copper that stays shiney are beautiful but I can't imagine any copper remaining in that state without pampering or daily polishing. This is an old photo showing the contrast: This post was edited by antiquesilver on Wed, May 22, 13 at 23:16

Reply to: I love shapes and color variations, so that you can see shades of grey, white, or whatever the base color is. These give actual and visual texture that makes my eyes sooooo happy :-)
