Kitchen update: counter and backsplash

The biggest news in the counter area is that Mr. TellBlast has used epoxy to fasten round granite “pencils” to the edge of the counter. And they fell off. After leaning against one, the tile snapped off at the epoxy joint. I believe the pencil would be supported by the thin rectangle that he planned to glue below it, but he is very doubtful, therefore  procrastinating one attempt.

I continue to seek backsplash ideas. I thought I could live without for a while, but alas, I am too messy in the kitchen. I really need a backsplash. It’s such a small thing that covers a tiny area, but very significant.

If you can offer any ideas for trimming our counter, send it my way!
