Deciding on what materials to use for the kitchen back splash, I thought about brick! I've always wanted to live somewhere that had a featured brick wall, so, here was my chance.... in comes General Shale Brick, which is a company, which supplies thin veneer brick, kiln-fired, and cut thin for easy installation! It's the most awesome product out there for homeowners to use! It's truly easy to use, sold at a decent price (about $48 for 50 flat bricks), and looks great.

Why didn't we start with this?

Well, as you know, we ripped out the entirety of wainscoting, originally installed, to put up some "real wood." And to tell you the honest truth, it looks sooo much better. Don't really feel like time was wasted though... it's all a learning experience.

Take a look at Arch's handiwork with the new mudroom door threshold! Looks great!
