Backsplash installation

Backsplash was needed to prevent wall damage from vigorous wok usage and dishwashing. We installed Bella Vita Milano subway sized tile (3x6) in Nebbia (dark gray) color. Turning on the cabinet lights really highlights the tile color and spacing. I think this makes the kitchen look more "serious". We have almost a whole box left for any damage later. Note that the tile goes behind the oven, so in the case we replace the oven that has flat control panels there will be coverage.

180 pieces of tile @3.95 a piece = $711

Hardwood floor installation

We replaced the carpet with new hardwood floors for the addition. This included all space including where the washer and dryer sits. We discovered during installation that the entire space was covered with vinyl tile, the same as what's in the kitchen. Originally we asked for interlocking boards, to make a continuous flow between the kitchen and room. Unfortunately the addition is one inch taller, which makes interlocking impossible. The transition board covers the height difference but it's not as smooth as we had hoped, but there was nothing we could do. Also the color is slightly reddish compared to the kitchen's color. Slightly annoyed by that.
