Window Seat and Test Table

So, while Linda and Jim are living it up in San Carlos, some of us still have to work to make a living!

Oh, wait a minute, I'm not actually working, just re-doing our house. So today I'm working on what I hope is the last, last bit of the job - the wallpaper. Denise has picked out a nice grasscloth, which I've found out is NOT like regular wallpaper. It's a bear to deal with, but looks great when it's up. As you can see I've got a wall completed between the kitchen and the Dining Room. Oops, that looks like the window seat I built, with a surrogate table made from a door, as a stand in for the real table which needs to be manufactured by someone.

One Wall of Grasscloth

So here's the picture of the grasscloth wall  - this photo is inserted with "small" as the size, and positioned on the left. When you click on the photo you should see a much larger photo. Give it a try and see. Note the crown molding on the cabinets. They got it wrong three times in a row, so we had plenty of extra which I used as a border for the tile backsplash below!

The stove and the new tile backsplash 

Glass tile with wooden accent strip

So over there on the right is a medium picture of the stove area. Note the new backsplash with glass and stone tiles, with a small wooden border that's made out of leftover crown molding. Click on this picture to get some detail.

Finally, above on the left is a closeup of the tile and that little wooden border.
