Kitchen Makeover....Finished...for real this time!

I was talking to our boss today and he offered to pay for the backsplash that I wanted in the kitchen.
We went to Lowes and looked at our 5 choices of colors and my brilliant husband noticed that the charcoal color would look good with the black hardware. I had dismissed the charcoal as an option because I thought it would be too dark. But we decided to go with it and I'm so glad we did.
We also got black light switches for the disposal and a black metal switch plate. Here's a closer look. We really couldn't be happier with the way this turned out!
