Before and After

Remember my kitchen before the backsplash? 

Remember how much I talked about it on Twitter and Facebook and then stopped talking about it abruptly? It's because i've pretty much been sitting in my kitchen staring at it since it was completed.

I went against my initial plans to get a lighter, sand colored glass tile and went with the tile I fell in love with as soon as I walked in the store. It's hard to tell from this photo, but it's a dark brick color. I hesitated with it only because I was afraid it wouldn't match my red KitchenAid mixer and other red kitchen accessories, but in the end it was an unfounded fear. I LOVE the way it looks. And now, I can actually say that my kitchen is FINISHED (except for some window treatments, but that doesn't count, in my opinion). And if you mention anything about the missing knob on the right hand cabinet above the microwave, I will kick you in the shins. Seriously. Don't ask.

It looks great! I love how the tiles have toned down the red accessories and somehow made them seem more brick like as well.
