From Reeeaalllly Mauve to Mountain Rustic

My cousin Michelle Rocks. Seriously. She's a machine. She arrived Monday around 2:00, and not 48 hours later, she left my ugly mauve countertop better than I could have dreamed. She doesn't just tile. She works the tile as though an artist. No flat edge was left straight without a good filing to continue with the rustic look of real slate. Her attention to detail was of utmost importance. And we get to reap the benefits of her artistic perfectionism :o)

Please note the before picture up top as she preps the counters for mortar. She endured mud in her hair and clothing for the sake of my counter. And the finished product is amazing. These pictures don't do it justice. And still to come...oil bronzed faucets, light fixtures and new paint on walls. This was just the beginning......

Thanks so much, Michelle!!!
