Backsplash

Today I went to pick up my 

quilted stainless steel for Ellie Mae's backsplash.

Some girls get excited about Manolo's,

or a day at the Spa..

me, it's quilted stainless steel.

?

~wow, maybe that means I am no longer qualified 

to live here in the OC?

and perhaps a little insight as to 

why I am still single?~

ANYWAY...

Dave was a bit stressed 

out about cutting it...

but it cut like BUTTER with a grinder, 

with no discoloration or even heat!

Dave hides his disbelief

I can already tell I LOVE it!

Things are moving along so fast 

I realized Ellie Mae is almost DONE! 

Once the countertop is finished, then all that is really left is the floor, but that isn't a biggie.

I am almost sad, because the restoration 

was such great fun. 

These things are never really "done" of course because you can always do something better..

(cabinets...some of mine suck, etc) 

but I am not a perfectionist.

I can live with some roughness.

I'm pretty happy with her overall!
