This picture is very pretty. I like the color of the violet , the leaves as background and the black color at the back.Thanks to you.

What metal did you get for your cabinets and faucet? A possibility would be to use the same metal in the backsplash and that way you could get texture and design. Another choice would be muted caramel color, look at colors in that line. I don't think the countertop is too busy, it reads as a solid with teeny speckles. I have the Sony staron in a similar pattern and I love it with a soft gold backsplash.

Salad Macaroni Real Mayonaise Some of the pickle juice A tablespoon or two of sugar Sweet Onions, diced Claussen Bread and Butter pickles, diced Celery, diced Red, Yellow and/or Orange Bell Pepper Seasoned Salt and Pepper On occasion...shrimp I add the pickle juice and sugar to the mayo and stir till smooth before pouring over everything else. I keep some of this to the side, because after it sits for a bit in the fridge, it may get dry...so I add more of the mayo mixture to it. I don't put eggs in mine. And never tuna or salmon. I am not a tuna or salmon person.

Cynic in California they have already gone after them. several cities no longer allow happy meals toys to be given out with the meals. They have tried to tell McDonald's what the nutritional content of the meal must be. They tried to force them in San Francisco to have at least 1/2 cup fruit and 1/2 cup vegetable in each happy meal. McDonald's still sells the meals as before. The catch is that now that they are not allowed to include the toy they have decided to sell it on the side. For 10 cents! LOL Any thinking person knows that McDonald's is not a good daily diet. But for generations children have been taken out for a burger,fries and a shake as a treat. Same with ice cream parlors and giant sundaes and banana splits. It insane. Now people line up at frozen yogurt shops that have build your own sundaes with all sorts of candy toppings that are priced by weight at the register. but it has the word yogurt so that's ok.
