Projects over break, #1

I know, Darcy, you thought i was insane when you walked into the kitchen of the house I'd just bought... The previous owner of my house liked pink. No, she loved pink. And I, as you know, am NOT a pink person.

Ever since I updated the kitchen from magenta wallpaper with a floral border (see pix) to a nice neutral shade of light blue, I've been itching to finish the edges, which came out a little rough. In fact, I bought tile to do so while I was on my way back from NC over Xmas break. That tile has been sitting on my counter ever since. Ah, school. Well, it's done, and it came out quite nice. The following are two views of the kitchen before:

J, the tile hotplate you made is perfect here.















I will post pix of the big project, creating a large hole in the side exterior wall of my house, later today... and the finish of that project will involve painting the living room. When that's done, there will be NO MORE PINK in my house :)
