Has anyone ever seen this in a kitchen before? I am planning the tile layout for a new kitchen and the tiles are long rectangles for the backsplash. I was thinking of having them set in a brick wall pattern. Instead of your usual vertical rows. Are there any pictures posted somewhere of this pattern that I can see?
Thanks!

The tile is called "subway tile" and the installation process/style is called "running bond".

Here's a picture of this tile and pattern used in a bathroom. Copy and paste to your browser. The people here don't allow hot-links or photos.

THANKS FOR THE LINK! I DO LIKE THIS STYLE. ALTHOUGH THE TILES I HAVE ARE MUCH BIGGER, CLOSER TO 6X12 IF NOT SLIGHTLY BIGGER. I WILL PROBABLY GO FOR THIS STYLE IN MY KITCHEN ANYWAY, AND PART OF ONE BATH WITH REGULAR 4X4 TILES ON THE LOWER HALF OF THE WALL.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE LINK TO SOME NICE TILE WORK!
