Courtney's Kitchen

No, this isn't the name of a new restaurant, though Courtney and Bruce could probably open one with the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner they cooked up. We finally finished the tile work in Courtney's condo. About six months ago, we built a long slender shelf unit to cover the radiator pipe running floor-to-ceiling in her bathroom, and decided to use tile, rather than metal grillwork to disguise the pipe. We found a really cool glass and marble pattern that would look modern, yet keep the character of an historic building. It looked so good, we decided to install a whole row of it in the kitchen as a backsplash behind the sink. It really looks good with the maple cabinets, stainless sink, and faux granite countertop.
