YES! I love our backsplash! It was worth the wait!
I hope you are able to look at the one you like & say THAT'S the one!!! I just hope you don't have the problem we did - the "THAT'S THE ONE" I saw, was so WAY WAY too expensive!!!

But I just couldn't find anything else I liked better! We looked & looked- for months....nope, I wanted THAT one!!! (so did Jim) Thankfully I found the same one online at Menards, for almost 1/2 price & we bought it during their 11% rebate deal. It was still too expensive compared to the others out there, but thankfully we love it!!! It's going to be on there for a LONG time, so I feel it was worth the extra $$!
Keep us posted!!!

That's awesome!! Glad to hear that, happy for you!
So glad you were able to find it at Menard's, too.
LOVE that place!

Yes, we were talking about the other upgrades we did, and things we still want to buy for the new house. And while we don't want to break the bank, but we want nice quality and don't want to settle. So, we're prioritizing. And hoping to find a good financing deal out there, too.
We did that at Lowe's with our home in Vegas =]

Will do!

Well that's awesome! Yep, sometimes you just have to "bite the bullet" & not compromise on quality or what you like! I hope you are able to find good financing. Good luck!

I love Menards too. Spent a lot of time there during our remodel!

Which reminds me, our neighbor is a contractor & he is building a house for his Mom in our subdivision. I think she is in her late 70's MAYBE early 80's. She gave him a price she didn't want to go over, so he came up with a design...but now he said she is wanting all these extra's, but she doesn't want to pay more. HA! I said - good luck with that one! You're the contractor, better find a way! Gotta keep momma happy!

It was fun. We nearly blew away, but it was nice to get fresh air! It's in the low 60's so it felt nice. We only got 1 1/2 mile in but lunch is only so long. I told Gracie if it's not raining after work we'll go again!

And by the way....Happy National Walking Day!!!

Glad you didn't blow away!!

It sounds like perfect weather, minus the wind.
Glad you two had a fun time!
Fingers crossed for no rain =]

You're welcome!
Her husband (the contractors dad) who is now deceased, started & later sold this contractor business to him, so I'm guessing she is going to get her way!

Well, we had fun picking out our stone!
Holiday, when I saw "the one" I just knew it! Adi liked it, too!
So, he yelled "Sold!" to the sales guy, and that was that

We are big fans of the stackledge look, and there were one with Autumn tones...yay!
