| Hey Missy! It's a super simple and super inexpensive beveled subway tile in cream from Bellavita Tile with alabaster sanded grout. Honestly, it is the PERFECT cream for Bianco Antico..warm/soft but not yellowy. I couldn't be happier (and hubby is still saying...needs color...haha....I can accessorize!) Couldn't find an accent that I liked but when the switchplates go in, it will change the look too~ |

| Of course we all knew it would end up beautiful, just like the rest of your kitchen! You so make all the right decisions :) |

| It looks very, very pretty Slonewby. I was waiting to see how it looked and thought maybe you weren't going to post. So glad you did! |

| Thank you, everyone! It's been a fun project...albeit, very confusing at times! haha....biochem...I'm waiting for the finished pics too! >:-/ Interestiingly enough, my contractor...who has been a high end contractor for the past 17 years, finally bit the bullet called bad economy and went to work managing a huge appliance company. He's working like crazy and we get what's left of him. Luckily (for him) ...he's family, so I'm not inclined to bite his head off...(too much)...but, it means I have to be patient. Last time we had him, he did some of the electrical and we spent the rest of the day working on an unrelated project. I only have a bit of electrical to finish the job but it might still take awhile. Rest assured, I'll have the complete pics up when I have a complet kitchen!!!!! PS...I love the switchplate covers I picked. I had to paint them but the look just perfect! |

| I like how you took a crown over the windows and it can act as a small shelf. |

| Thank you, hags~ you wouldn't believe the fiasco it was trying to get our cabinet people to do the window casing and shelf! We finally just did it ourselves. They wanted to charge something crazy like $800 to do what we did for about $80. It made a big difference for me though to have trim around the windows. I'll post some better photos when we're all done! |

| Looks great. Just wish I hadn't re-watched "Bridesmaids" right before reading your subject line. |
