Thanks Jenn. The whole kitchen is beautiful. And the broom closet looks so sleek when closed. You didn't just get somehthing that works better than filler, you have something that looks incredibly better also. Tony has given a lot of folks (mostly DH 's) something to shoot for.

shadowkat, I think those are Susan Jablon tiles /http://www.mosaicartsupplies.com/p_TileCatalog.cfm?category=subwayb

I've been looking around for 3 x 6 glass tiles and found this site http://www.sandhillind.com/fieldconcepts.asp
scroll down to see the greens or look at the color pallette. Haven't looked into it much, have a feeling these may be expensive.

jgsearls, I ditto the raves for your backsplash...

There's still some dec'n'ratin' to do and some minor touch-ups here and there (namely our tiling job around the switchplates is frightening!

That is utterly fantastic! Being of the DIY variety (where 90% is done), I'm always amazed when someone actually manages to FINISH! You've got a beautiful kitchen -- much deserved after all your hard work! Give Tony big kudos for us!

FANTASTIC!!! I absolutely love it. It is amazingly beautiful! And you get to enjoy it every single day for a long, long time! That's the best part, IMHO .

Do let us know when the taping and airing happen!

Me too! But I suppose when you've got HGTV waiting on your doorstep and knowing that millions of people are going to see your kitchen..... that's pressure enough to actually finish the job, eh?! (Me, I'd be fainting away with the stress of trying to achieve perfection.)

BTW , it looks fantastic Jenn!
