Kitchen remodel of summer/fall 2002. The only part of the kitchen to NOT get a face lift were the 21 year old cabinets. With the exception of the wallpaper, my husband did all the work himself with a little (very little) help from me.
A BIG thank you to the John Bridge Tile Forum

and Garden Web's Kitchen and Bath Forum

Both sites offered invaluable advice. Couldn't have done it without them :)
Note: the bottom cabinets and floor are NOT as dark as they appear in most of the photos.
I've added a photo of the floor by it's self to more accurately show it's color.
