Houston, We Have Backsplash!

Proof that what you see in the tile store display (that would be The Tile Shoppe)

is not necessarily what will be delivered and installed. 

After much agonizing,  this weird, greenish tile (and the drywall behind it)
was chopped up and dumpstered.

But not before many emails, calls and meetings 

with The Tile Shoppe reps drove me to the first 
change order to Barbie's Dream House!
