That also included a couple of 12"x12" sheets of small blue tile which they cut into 2" strips and ran a color border through the middle to break up the white.
I had used subway tile in a remodel in our home up north in 2008, I remember they were 19 cents apiece at Home Depot. I just checked their website and a case of the 3"x6" white subway tile to cover 10 square feet is $17.60. You need 3 boxes plus some of the bullnose rounded ends tiles and mortar and grout, so maybe $100 total material. I would shop around, in fact search this website for tile installers. Every month somebody is raving about their kitchen. Do that for everything you do to your home and you'll save yourself a lot of grief and money.
I don't know if you're screen is big enough to see this, but here is our 10x10 kitchen and you can maybe see the blue band running through the middle. Our walls are painted a light blue and the white backsplash does stand out, but it's hard to see with that chandelier light so bright.
