Nice job, would he consider coming down to Miami for some tile work???
Your kitchen looks very nice and easy to clean, when we first moved to our house, it needed "some minor" demolition and rebuilding,and with our budget we had to tile the counter top,
, it is a pain to keep clean,Clorox and tooth brush in hand once a week, can't wait to be able to do what you did, but not for a while.
Enjoy you new kitchen!...how will be doing the cooking??LOL
