The Details

It's remarkable how long the "little things" take. It's been a couple of weeks since Keith finished up and we're slowly chipping away at the detail work that we saved for ourselves. Tiling the backsplash -- the last big project -- is finally done. We still need to grout it, but thanks to a full day's help from Mica, we got it all mortared to the wall yesterday.
