Glad to hear you gained insight from your thread. I read it with interest and remember it being very recent.

Just curious, I wonder why you couldn't find your thread. I too was looking to update a thread that was 2 months old to give a final outcome, but was unable to locate it. I was wondering if they delete certain threads after awhile and what the criteria would be. I searched by cabinet name which was in my subject line and by my online name. Other, older posts came up but nothing of mine came up. Unfortunately, it was a good outcome to a not so happy install and I'd like to update. Might be some useful information to someone out there. I benefited so much from this site I wanted to pay it forward.

Please post pictures of your finished kitchen! I'd love to see them.

Glad you found an nice alternative. Be sure to seal the travertine. Can't wait to see pictures.
I found your previous post by doing a google search for gardenweb and brick backsplash. The gardenweb search button does not work very well
