Renee you must be overwhelmed with all of these comments. Your countertops are GORGEOUS, so I do hope you keep them. Sophie's suggestion to stain the floors is well worth looking into. For what it is worth my suggestion for your backsplash is to go with a simple solid tile in a lighter color that coordinates with the countertop. I would suggest you not go too small with the tile- 3x6 to 4x12 would be a good size to stick with. You want to avoid too much movement in the backsplash as the counter (and the floor) have quite a bit of movement and you do not want them competing. Let the countertop be the star of the show. Good luck and let us know how it all ends up for you.

Hi all, Checking in after the weekend. Wanted to give you a quick link to the FAQ for those who may have missed it. https://bit.ly/2S2Gxm8 Important to note that not all accounts have been sent an email, but there is certainly no harm in updating your password regardless. It's a good practice to change passwords regularly and to use different passwords for different sites. For a small number of people (as at least one person noted above) their password was reset proactively because our system was able to detect that it was a weaker password. It is a good idea to check in your account settings and make sure your email is still current. If at some point you do want to reset your password, you will need to have access to the email that is registered to the account to do that. (Also, unless you are registered as a pro, there is no phone number associated with your account, so there couldn't be any connection between this incident and spam phone calls.) Emily

Since I never got married, I never received wedding china, and so I've always been somewhat "china poor." I have bought odds and ends at thrift stores that I liked, even though I never got more than a couple of matching pieces at a time. I have also bought small plates and bowls at the Japanese $1.49 store (It used to be a 98¢ store, but...) and I still have just barely enough to use. This means that I have to wash the dishes very often, but I also do not have enough cupboard space to store more dishes, unless I decided to store fewer food items. My mother had white Wedgewood dishes that we always used on Sundays and holidays, but my niece has them now. I did get two sets of sterling silverware from my mother, but it's a pattern that I don't especially like, and I wish I could trade them in for one set of an Art Deco pattern, like the dessert forks and spoons that I bought at an antique shop on La Brea for cheap. These were from an estate sale and had just been delivered (very tarnished), and the guy at the shop didn't know they were sterling, as he sold them to me for less than the value of the metal. Anyway, if you were in my neighborhood, I would probably take dishes off your hands and pay you for them. The house in Cathedral City came with an incomplete set of white dishes, and so I bought another set at Revivals in C.C. for cheap. The problem with all of these dishes is that they are not microwave safe, even though they are all completely white. I bought a set of stainless steel flatware for the house in C.C. from Amazon and then found an almost identical full set at Revivals for a fractions of the price. I bought a teapot there that cannot go into the microwave either, and that's how I normally make tea😞
