Hi Mendi, I was just reviewing all of the posts on one of my projects and was struck by what good advice you gave us, and then started looking at your projects. You are talented, and your aesthetic is just great. I love your penchant for re-purposing, and the artistic flair you bring to each project. (Your range backsplash and the perforated sofit above kitchen sink are sublime--and countertops: oh yes!) Anyway, its been a year away from this project and I was feeling overwhelmed again so started reviewing the houzz posts. It really underscored for us what a keen eye and wise advice you gave and I just wanted to say thanks. best to you, Geoff (& JB)
