We bought and installed the back splash this past weekend. It looks wonderful. We decided to go with a beige 6 inch tile in a "cement block" like stack. Kevin also grouted it, wired up the pot rack, and wired all the outlets along the countertop. A really cool detail that we added was around the window. We bought blue slate and framed in the window. It is very unique and we love it. I added a few new pictures to the album as well.
Another on going project that I forgot to mention is that we are filling in our back yard with dirt. Kevin got 50 loads of dirt and dumped them in the back yard in an effort to fill in a large hole. He is trying to ready the back yard for the kids' baseball practice some day. Now his favorite thing to do is level the dirt with the tractor. I got this cute picture of him and Mia working on it. He plans on finishing that this week and seeding it. We also got the front garden weeded and some new mulch today. It was a very productive weekend for the Mesnicks!
By the way, does anyone think "the tractor is sexy?"!!!

Beautiful! I can't wait to see it in person!
Bravo! The kitchen looks AMAZING!! I can't wait to finish ours! We want granite as well and need to get our backsplash done. You and Trish have made me have such an itch to get the ball rolling! Oh, and careful having Kev out there on "scoop". The rednecks can probably smell the exhaust of that thing and would fall over dead seeing Kev on it and that he has all of his teeth! What a catch! Just sayin'. Love you, Kristen
Kristen,
You are too funny! I am really glad to be on the end of this project. We are going on 3 months now and our goal is to have it completely finished by summer and then NO MORE projects (this summer anyway). We want to enjoy it with the kids.
Love, Em
Em, the kitchen looks great! Good job on the backsplash. I can't believe how different it looks from your "begining" kitchen. I really can't wait to see it in person.
