It's Finished!

Well my brother finished tiling the kitchen..I'm a little slow getting the photos up! But I've been a little preoccupied with the wedding and such...LOL

 Anyway, here are the photos. The tile is tumbled marble. It's so beautiful. It had lots of holes all over it, reminding me of Roman ruins. When my brother grouted it all over it filled the holes in, making an interesting contrast.

I love the accent tiles and the trim. It's a metal that looks like old copper.


The whole thing looks great with my dark cabinet and light counter. I'm very pleased with it. I even found stone light switch & plug covers and Joe put those in for me.  He was so funny. The tiles are mis-shappened because they are supposed to look rustic and old. But he's such a perfectionist that he kept trying to get them total lined up etc.

I kept telling him that I wanted the old world charm. He would look at me like I had 3 heads. LOL

I'm so in love with it...it really classes up the joint! :)
