Completely off topic, but could you tell me about your dining room chairs? They look just like two that I recently purchased at an estate sale and I know nothing about them.

We have learned the hard way that not all ceiling fans are created equal and there is so much more to consider than just the size of the fan itself. Do you need a breeze throughout an entire room, or are you looking for maximum impact over one specific area, such as a bed/couch/table? Pay attention to blade pitch, motor size, and the CFM listing on each fan you consider. We learned what to look for when buying a ceiling fan by reading the following:

We definitely made concessions when it came to buying the perfect fans for our house, including price point and aesthetics, but it was definitely worth it. We live in Texas, set our AC no lower than 78 even on 110 degree days and have ceiling fans running almost nonstop in every room. We stay very cool!

Can you tell me the source of your backsplash tile? I have the exact same floor tiles (did you use grout?), white cabinets and dark countertops in my kitchen. We were contemplating hex tile as a backsplash option and I really like the way you have made it all work together. It looks fantastic!!!
