Well, it's Monday... but the good new is, we have a new backsplash to share!! And this one was certainly not a chore. (even without the free pizza and beer!!). It was for my little bro and his wife, in their brand new kitchen... in their brand new house!! They've been homeowners for 3 days now, and have been busily unpacking and arranging things throughout their homestead. Though their 107 year ... [ Read More ]

Granted, the previous tile was old sterile-white ceramic tile, probably original to the house.Alice opted for a light neutral look, with a darker beige grout. It provides a subtle, yet ...

We try to pull off at least one backsplash each weekend, so that basically makes for a backsplash themed Monday morning blog each week!Sandy got a first-hand look at our work at her daughter Allison's house (from a couple weeks ago).

This one is from several weeks ago, but I've been dragging my feet to post it because I wanted to get a hold of Amber first to get permission to post her kitchen on the blog.Now obviously, we can't take credit for how AMAZING her kitchen is.

It's all about word of mouth, people! Our girl Allison brought us in to spice up her kitchen with a chic, modern backsplash. Up until last week, her backsplash was painted the same blue/gray as her wall, but because she didn't want that as her 'grout' color, she slapped on a coat of white paint! Allison opted for a neutral travertine, as she's been known to change out the wall color from time to ... [ Read More ]
