I've heard from some of you that you are enjoying our online kitchen transformation. I'd love to hear your thoughts, so I'm asking for some feedback today!
After pricing tile the other day, and finding that it's a bit much to cover 43 sq ft in a house we hope we're not staying in forever, I started exploring other options for our backsplash, maybe a compromise between partial tile and something more cost effective? The option I like the best after today is something like this catalog photo. I know this is hard to see, but it's small slate tiles and then the same paint effect that is on the walls above it. 
What do you think? There are other options at this link which I explored. I'm not sure what to do now, but if any of you have thoughts or suggestions, I would love to hear them!
The rest of the photos show our new countertops! We got grey for the small counter in the dining area and dark blue for the rest of the kitchen. I think they look great and am so excited to have that complete.
Dad also installed our sink, faucet and garbage disposal. We have everything but a drain, so after that we will be in business.
I cleaned off some trim that we messed up with the Venetian plaster and also stained one side of the door that was hanging between the rooms. I hope to get two coats on the other side between this evening and tomorrow, but we'll see what happens.
Kevin is away with Temple women's bball in Cincinnati so he missed all these changes. Hopefully he'll check the blog and get an update like the rest of you!

Hey Jackie,
I checked out the link you put up and thought the one idea called "Eco-Friendly Metal Backsplash" was cool. Whatever you guys go with will look great though! The kitchen is really looking wonderful!
Thanks for your suggestion Erin - I hadn't seen that one! We need to decide soon so we really can put the finishing touches on this project and be done with it!
