How are you liking the end cap wine rack?
I love the look of it and we're remodeling our kitchen this year and have a spot perfect for such a thing.

I really like it and get a lot of compliments on it.  I like that it gives some visual interest in the dining area vs. just a flat cabinet side.

BUT - and this isn't the wine rack's fault - our "built in" wine fridge needs more rear clearance than an actual built in would have - so we had to drill some holes for ventilation
you really cannot tell unless you're right up in there.

Also, what is your backsplash tile? Wondering if it's the one I'm thinking of using in my upstairs bathroom renovation (Ivy Tile).

Is this the one you are thinking about?  I just got some samples of the cream for my bath -- exisiting tub is creamy/almond and we are keeping it.  It is so pretty!  Not sure if it will work with the tub though.

Yes it is!  I'm hoping to do the subway-sized ones though.  If it helps, I confirmed with the company that the Wayfair one and the one from Home Depot are the same if you can work any sales!

If you're really set on keeping the creamy/almond tub you may want to check out the color that's "cream" on Wayfair and "sand dune" on Home Depot to see if that goes better.

dr.girlfriend, thanks for the home depot tip! I did get a sample of the cream just not sure the shades of cream work together. I also am considering the subway shape. This is not a renovation we want to do but we have a leak so we have to do it. Trying to keep the costs down by keeping the tub.

Oh, duh, yeah, that's my reading comprehension fail.  :-)

Looks fantastic! I love it especially the built ins. I may have to steal that look when we repaint ours.

That all look so great, congratulations! The kitchen area especially feels so much more open and spacious.
