A Backsplash For A Kitchen Update

We started a bathroom renovation in our 1890's condo unit about six weeks ago. All the major work is done and we are now waiting on the vanity, sink, storage cabinet, and glass shower door. The entire floor of the 500 square foot unit was also redone in ceramic tile that looks like wood. We don't want to have to worry about water issues in any of the rooms! So now we are just making minor updates on items that have been on the list of "to do's" since we moved here eleven years ago. The tiny kitchen space always needed a backsplash of some sort, so we decided on a tile that went with the existing black countertop. It's not quite done, but it already looks so much nicer than the old plain wall. We never liked the track lights with lightbulbs that we couldn't figure out how to change, so we will be replacing that with a chandelier to match the backsplash - along with a dimmer switch that will allow for some control over the poor lighting in the unit. And since the faucet drips, we thought a replacement was in order, and the Delta black rubber design looked right for the space. We haven't decided on a table for the tiny place so for now we will keep the existing drop leaf and keep our eyes open for something less intrusive. When we lived in Wisconsin we renovated every room to our satisfaction. We are somewhat limited here, didn't use a designer, and relied on our best instincts, and are so far happy with the results. Soon it will all look like it was always that way. We are both anxious for the day!
