olldbobbi At 5'6" I'm really not that veritically impaired but I keep a 2-step step stool in my kitchen for just these type of cabinets.

Andrea Filice_Lupo step stool and close it after you get what you need? Love them reminds me of Italy and the kitchen that we had in our condo on vacation.

mikeswife0904 I do love brick as well! We installed a contrasting brick wall in our family room, and with my "italian country" decor, it works wonderfully! However, it does collect dust that is difficult at best to remove. I can only imagine the cleaning nightmares that would take place over a stove top. I was thinking that a nice alternative, that you might even say resembles brick at least shape-wise, is subway tiles. As you probably already know, it comes in different sizes and a zillion colors. You could easily get that "feel" you're probably looking for. Keep us posted!

Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. Hi there. I am just finishing a kitchen project for a client who also wanted brick. We used this company Arto Brick, take a look at their website...

The look is rustic and perfect for Spanish style, modern style, or rustic style.
I used the 1x9 Villagio Brick GB25 in Tuscan Mustard...

They have many different options and colors. The bricks are easy to clean with just a wet sponge.
Hope that helps. Charmean Neithart
