I'm dreaming of a white, finished kitchen......

So while we have been busy with the Christmas stuff....John has been busy getting our house ready for Christmas.  We are having Christmas Day at our house this year. with Joe's side of the family.....and I think we will be all ready (for the most part).  

This week the guys did the backsplash in the kitchen...and OMG...it's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  I know I say, "I LOVE IT!" with every new thing that happens (and I really do).    But THIS really takes the cake!  We decided on a slight off white subway tile that has a bit of a crackle to it.   Then a glass mosaic boarder in browns, tans, clear and burgundy. 































And the best part....behind the stove!    I knew I wanted the boarder of glass tiles, and a different direction for the subway tiles (herringbone).....but I wasn't exactly sure how to do it b/c there were a few  types of herringbone.  We decided to go with this one...and I am soooo happy we did!  It looks exactly how I wanted it!















But while I designed it......John and Craig really made it happen!  (John made me say that).  ;o)
And here's how.....






















































































I will post some more pictures tomorrow.....but it was grouted today and it looks even better!
