Kitchen complete!

I painted over the paper I had in the kitchen in order to get a lighter shade of blue. So much happier with it now. To make the aga backsplash, I made tiles out of polymer clay. I glued these on to card, grouted with spackle and then when dry I put a coat of clear nail polish over it all. Love it!

Your backsplash is quite beautiful. You have quite the knack for creating realistic and beautiful looking tiles. I'm not remembering how you have done the end wall by the kitchen. Does it have a window over the sink area or somewhere along the counter? I had forgotten there are no windows on the other end wall. I hadn't really thought about it until I was admiring all your work put together in that last photo. This is such an elegant build.

I just discovered the answer to my question by looking back in your entries. Somehow I missed the one where you showed the window. Sorry to be such a dummy.

It's a Bay window which I'm filling in, in the kitchen, behind the sink.  It is such a little kitchen that I really struggled to think how I was going to make the most of it.  I found quite a few pics of real kitchens that have benches in bays - I figure I can put her herbs in that area!  I really love the tiles - my daughter is very clever with Polymer clay and when she saw I had looked in a book to figure out how to marble, she thought I'm a bit of a newbie! hehe....fine by me!  Yes - the house if finally coming together.  So much stuff done in the background and then it all just fits in!  I haven't done anything for the attic as yet apart from getting the floor piece ready.  I'd like to open part of it up a little so that is probably my next challenge!

Thanks Debra!  I have been told that the polymer clay will disintegrate faster with the clear nail polish on it.  My hubby says that as long as it isn't in direct light it should be fine for quite a while.  So, I put nail polish on a spare tile and put it on the window sill.  Will see how it works out!  Now I have to tackle the attic and I intend to make the side above the kitchen a little bigger somehow.  So back to pouring over all the Pierce builds to try and figure what I'm going to do!
