We used epoxy grout (same as the granite counter tops). Its expensive - it took 4 "kits" at $20 each for $80 - but it is worth it. Having a fully stain-proof backsplash is a good long-term investment.I don't really enjoy working with this stuff, since it sets up pretty fast with no way to wet it back down. The kits make a small amount, so it's doable. If you have not grouted before, I would not recommend starting with this. But if you do have experience, give it a shot. I would not do a kitchen area with anything else. Also, clean-up is pretty easy.
Here are some additional pictures...
We will seal all of this tomorrow and call it done. Was it worth all the effort? Yes.

Dang! That looks good. I can't believe you cut all those brick tiles yourself. Good work on a 1 of a kind kitchen!
I just read through your blog. It's amazing all the ideas you've given me for my own kitchen remodel. I love the backsplash. Getting larger tiles and cutting those is a really good idea. I just might use it myself!
Wow! The backsplash looks great. Amazing work. We might give our own backsplash a try one of these days after seeing all your inspiration :)
Wow, wow, and WOW. Your blacksplash looks phenomenal. I love it.
