Oh, that would probably be Christina's dad. He makes the cabinets and she does the designs. The flooring place next door also has tile. Floor tile can usually take being wall tile, so when picking the backsplash you start out with the run of the shop.
You could also consider doing something unusual -- what about a sheet metal backsplash with no grout to clean? (Hm, aged copper or brass, or anodized aluminum with oil-slick colour patterns...) Or glass, or mirror?
You now have me really liking the idea of a textured glass (texture towards the wall, smooth towards you) backsplash with a ribbon of LED lights run along the top so as to make the backsplash glow. The splash is probably embedded in some kind of white setting bed on the wall side.

You should show me your plans sometime!
