There's samll renovations, remodels, acents, etc.<br />ZéAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-63850978291554786982011-03-21T13:44:13.541-04:002011-03-21T13:44:13.541-04:00These are great!

We've had issues where the tile is to thick so we've had to cut down cabinets, doors, etc. Thinner tiles would help!Steph@TheGraniteGurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671867680855126655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-22993736009496951982011-03-21T12:14:24.763-04:002011-03-21T12:14:24.763-04:00Zé: Thanks for the additional sources.

We were discussing kitchen renos(he's putting in porcelain floors in his kitchen right now,) and he was saying that when he does redo the whole kitchen that he'd be doing porcelain counters. I protested, "it doesn't come big enough, what about the grout?" and he replied, "They can make it big enough. You'll have to come over and see them." This must be what he was talking about. What a beautiful, clean look!
