I wrote on a different blog about something I’m really excited about! We have a cluster of cabinets that go from the refrigerator to the doorway into the dining room. They are just top and bottom cabinets and they make a great buffet. Ever since we moved in I had my eye on this wall, and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Glass tile!

The thing I love about glass mosaic tiles is the translucent light that you get with it. Normal ceramic tile is beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but glass tile just sparkles. The kitchen will eventually be tan and red–so I chose a little bit darker tile. It’s called Coffee Bean, and it looks like this…

Ever since I decided to use glass tile, I’ve been looking for it at local home supply stores and never found what I was looking for. So I went online and found GlassTileStore.com. Not only did they have a huge selection, but their prices fit my budget perfectly! The tiles are sold in 13 x 13 squares, secured with mesh and are currently $4.00 cheaper than what I was expecting to pay! I made my order on March 6th, and can’t wait for it to get here. I’ve already started pulling the wallpaper down between these two cabinets, just awaiting it’s arrival.

If you are looking for something to add a little ’splash’ to your kitchen or bathroom–glass tile is the way to go; and GlassTileStore.com is the place to get it. You can even pay using Paypal, which is what I did. This will help add to the surprise that I have in store for the Chef when he walks into the kitchen and finds that wall completely finished. I can’t wait! I will definitely put pictures up when my little project is complete!

***EDITED TO ADD***
My tile came today, and I wanted to show you just how beautiful it really is.

And this is where it will go…
