Surplus.

When I placed a "special order" for our granite countertops, they would not sell me the amount I needed. No, they made me purchase the slab. That will leave us with a surplus of granite that kept me pondering "where will I put this? Does Bibb need it in the garage, should I make a desk? We do not need another vanity in the bathroom."
Finally, the obvious inspiration came to me, we will install the surplus as my backsplash (instead of the intended white subway tile in a herringbone pattern).
The pictures below are from Velvet & Linen. Although our ceiling is not that high and our kitchen is not this massive, there are some elements that I have been duplicating for our kitchen.
Yummy, I can't wait.
