Turned out great! :cert:

Looks good Thomas:seasix::cert:

[MrPeabody]

Looks real good, Thomas. I like that backsplash with the countertop color.

[78SA]

Looks good. :seasix:

[Skia]

It looks really good. Bet you can see your hair in the counter shine. :yesnod:

[Cybercowboy]

Any new appliances? Floor? Paint? You'll love the glass tile and granite, just make sure you seal that stuff every so often. You'll be able to tell when it needs it. You can buy the good stuff that the pros use if you look online.

[island14]

Very nice Thomas!

:cert:

[Burro (He/Haw)]

Bet you can see your hair in the counter shine.
It's like having a gigantic mirror in the kitchen. It rocks!.

Any new appliances?
Hung the microwave last week.

Floor?
Floor about 6 months ago.

Paint?
Right before the floor and carpet. I was slinging paint everywhere. :D

glass tile and granite
It's Cambria. We looked at granite, and laminate. Laminate was out, granite needs maintenance. :cert:

Nice. Ours will be wrapped in about a month. Still making doors. :DAB:

kitchen

Any more pictures? The wood has too much grain for my taste but I dig the backsplash and floor. I don't like it as much when the backsplash is the same as the counters (like in my kitchen).

We're in the middle of remodeling the master bathroom. That's it for this house. No more.

[mrvette]

Nice work man, can we get U 2 do more OF it????:rofl::rofl::seasix::shots:

[MrPeabody]

If you weren't married, Thomas, all that money could have been spent on the bike.:lol:

[island14]

If you weren't married, Thomas, all that money could have been spent on the bike.:lol:


:iagree:


I heard the bike needs a new seat... :D

Any more pictures?
They all kinda look just like that one honestly.

[MrPeabody]

I feel your pain, Thomas. I've gone from owning a Corvette to owning a vegetable garden.:leaving:

Very nice. :seasix:

[OddBall]

Well, Cook Somethin'!

Yeah, leave it to this dipshit to say something negative.

[Doug28450]

I see at least eight building code violations.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

I see at least eight building code violations.

I told my wife I wouldn't spend too much time under the microwave, it might fall on her head.

[Jeff '79]

Yeah, leave it to this dipshit to say something negative.

So you meet a negative with another negative , dipshit.....:slap:

The kitchen looks great, and it's gotta feel great to finally be done...:clap:

Where's the fridge?

[snide]

Yeah, leave it to this dipshit to say something negative.

Doesn't matter if I like your new kitchen or not. If you like it, good for you.

And, go **** yourself.

[Doug28450]

I told my wife I wouldn't spend too much time under the microwave, it might fall on her head.

You just admitted to number nine.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

And, go **** yourself.
You should do that, although I'm sure you'd be disappointed.

[Doug28450]

Where's the fridge?

OOPS.....he forget to put that in.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

Where's the fridge?
In the garage full of Miller High Life. Probably leaking all over the garage floor too.

[Jeff '79]

OOPS.....he forget to put that in.

That or it's a shitty one and hes embarrassed to show it.:dance:

Don't worry Thomas... I'm already ****ing myself... And I'm good! :rofl:

[Doug28450]

In the garage full of Miller High Life. Probably leaking all over the garage floor too.

That's alcohol abuse.

[Jeff '79]

That's alcohol abuse.

Miller High Life? :eek:

[Burro (He/Haw)]

That's alcohol abuse.

My wife says it refrigerator abuse. but who listens to her she picked Periwinkle walls.

That or it's a shitty one and hes embarrassed to show it.
No, that's only a couple years old. I just didn't get it in the frame.

[Doug28450]

Miller High Life? :eek:

Well....

It does have some alcohol value.

[Jeff '79]

You apparently do, and very intently.....:D

[Jeff '79]

Ya, I guess in a urine sample kinda way.....:shots:

[Doug28450]

Yes Dear, periwinkle looks great, in fact, it's my favorite color.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

Leave my beer alone, I've been drinking that shit since I ripped it off from my dad in high school.

[Jeff '79]

:rofl::rofl:

Yep.. I know the yes dear line myself... Why bother even arguing?

[VITE1]

Nice job :seasix::shots:

[Datawiz]

Well done! :seasix:

Not my choice for my own home, but most definitely a well executed arrangement.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

It's not like I'm trying buy another motorcycle. I'd take her to the lake for that shit.

[Jeff '79]

It's not like I'm trying buy another motorcycle. I'd take her to the lake for that shit.

I hear that...
She tried to start to tell me how to "decorate" my barn..... Uh, no.
I didn't tell you how to do your kitchen, so just,,,,,, go away.... It worked.:D

[Burnt C6]

Is the back splash faux brick or did you paint it that way? We already have faux brick in our kitchen for a black splash and I want to do something with it. We are fixing to redo our kitchen.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

Back splash is ceramic, not paint. :cert:

[Burro (He/Haw)]

Another pic, similar to the first. I changed to outlet covers to the ones in the first shot

[mrvette]

When we redid my neighbor's kitchen next door, out came the brick and in with very similar glass tile, lighter overall and not as long, but the run was not as long either....only about 6' or so....has an island sink....granite also....


Wooden you know it, got called out to a house I fixed long time ago, yet another one, house was beautiful.....past tense WAS.....

granite tops, nice cabinets, should see it today, tenants abandoned prop last January, closed it up and so a water leak under the kitchen sink, water on the floor, sat for months like that, no stove, no fridge.....and you should SEE the mold/mildew/growths on the sheetrock walls, tile floor also....house is going to take well over 15 grand to fix....and at that, I doubt it will EVER pass an electronic mold sniffer.....lovely.....:issues::sadangel:

[Bucwheat]

Love it!:seasix:

[Barn Babe]

:seasix:Very nice indeed! :kimblair:

[Burro (He/Haw)]

what was the deciding factor for Cambria? Pros/cons?

Looks nice Thomas. :cert:

We looked at laminate first since its the least expensive. We ruled it out immediately. It looked somewhat cheap, and doesn't hold up as well as Cambria or granite.

Granite is VERY expensive and requires maintenance. We wanted something maintenance free. Cambria gives you the durability of granite without the maintenance. It's also less expensive. It seemed to be the best option for us.

I have heard of possible chipping around the sink, especially if you went with an under mount as we did.

The biggest headache was the damn faucet! "Too hospital!" or "Boring!" We're common complaints. A decent faucet will set you back $300+. I ended up re-piping the entire drain piping and water supply. Gotta have the pull out spray head don't ya know!

As far as I can tell, you have the same kitchen faucet as us. BTW, I'd never heard of Cambria before. We considered quartz instead of granite but hell it's about the same price. The maintenance on granite is very minor, it's not a deal breaker.

[Z06David]

The cambria looks great!! I may have to look into that.

I have only HEARD of Cambria before, but no clue about it.....

Tom, please tell all.....

It's my understanding that Cambria is a name of a company.

Cambria is the sole producer of engineered quartz surfaces in the United States. They are located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, with additional facilities in Le Sueur, Minnesota; Charlotte, North Carolina; Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ontario, Canada. They are a subsidiary of Davisco Foods International, which is privately held and owned by the Davis family.

Cambria produces quartz surfaces, primary for use at kitchen countertops. It is used in a similar manner as granite, except that it is not porous thus requires no periodic sealing. The look of any quartz countertop compares to granite in that the colors are deep and consistent.

The process of creating the countertops is different than granite, in that it is an engineered product, consisting of about 90% quartz and 10% epoxy binder. An engineered product that requires no sealer has the advantage in that require no harsh chemicals to seal, nor do they emit harmful chemicals into the air, making them potentially more environmentally friendly.
