(Before Photo)
Happy Monday everyone! A big thank you for all your wonderful suggestions on my last post. My camera is still in Canada, I wait patiently (Not)....LOLThe boxer sitting on the couch is (Rufus) and he belongs to my sister Margo. Rufus is the baby of our daughters boxer (Sadie). I took the pictures of him during our last visit at her home.
I appreciated all of you suggestions very much, I will probably re post some old photos in weeks to come, but in the mean time I used Gary's new (I Pad Motorola Zoom) to take photo' of the new back splash.
Some of the photos are a bit washed out but you will get the idea of what the new back splash looks like I hope..
These are the before photo's, actually this is the photo I took the day we moved in.
The back splash was very busy and really not to my liking (A Home Depot Special).
Another before photo
The new tile being installed. Its so much more neutral now, we choose 3x6 tumbled stone. It has so much charm with all the imperfections in the stone. 
And after grouting
I really love how it turned out.
I tried to De-clutter my counters...I really did...LOL
Today I'm joining in with Susan from~Between Naps on the Porch
Enjoy your week with all the sweetness it brings!
Talk to you soon.

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
The backsplash is a wonderful improvement. I thought I liked the first one until I saw the second...so much easier on the eyes. Your counters look terrific to me!
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing accomplishment to finish a quilt of any size, but a king size quilt...wow! Well done! Looking forward to seeing it...
Love your new backsplash! It is perfect. Can't wait to see your quilt, I bet it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Elizabeth, this looks great! You and Gary did a great job. The stone compliments your granite beautifully, and the tile on the floor too. We chose the tumbled marble when we redid our kitchen. I have never tired of it!
ReplyDeleteA king size quilt? That is a lot of sewing! I can't wait to see. Pat yourself on the back!
wow what a great change! We have talked about changing ours, so many choices out there! Glad to see yours because we have very similar cabinets too!
ReplyDeleteAnxious to see that quilt!
OH Elizabeth, I love your new back splash. It looks so much better.. and I can't wait to see your Quilt...
