All the turkey and cranberry done and back to real life.
The Tile Guy called at about 9:30 am this morning to say he was on his way! When he arrived he had a whole bunch of tiles. I guess when I made my selection it came with a 3 inch border and then a twisty cap. Very pretty but it wouldn’t look right with the 3 inch lip the counter top people put in. So I decided to get rid of the twisty part and (sadly) the 3 inch trim. I really love that trim but it just doesn’t look right. (Sigh)
Just the back splash please.
The poor guy has a lot of repair to the wall to make. It was really gouged when they tore out the old yellow tiles. That has slowed him down somewhat but we are making progress.
It occurred to me last night as I sat in a turkey stuffed stupor that the kitchen came out close to the color I had planned for the bedroom. Now I’m not sure if I want the bedroom green after all. That could be a little too much green in such a small space. I will give this more thought once I get the house back together. Maybe a light blue?
My friend Jamie gave me another idea for the soffit area. I mentioned I might stencil some vines or something there and he suggested those signs you can get from the craft stores .
My personal favorite so far is ” A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen and this kitchen is delirious”
Another good one: “Kitchen Dinner Choices- Take it or Leave It”
I could get real tacky and put a neon “Eat” sign up there. Maybe even make it flash on and off???
How ’bout “I only have a kitchen because it came with the house.”?
But there are lots to consider and chose from. 
Tile Guy will be back tomorrow at 9 AM to remove the placers and grout the tiles then I just need the microwave to arrive.
Once that is installed this project will be done…except for some painting that I will now need to step up to do.
