ceiling, to level it and rearrange the lighting. The back splash is 3X6 handmade subway tiles, really adds to the whole style of the kitchen. This home was built in the early 1900's.

These Kitchen cabinets are a high gloss laminate that looks like Tiger Stripes, mirror backsplash, and absolute black granite slab tops. The owner uses this instead of a hotel when he travels to Seattle from Palm Springs....BTW, this 850 SF 1 bed, 1 bath condo was purchased for $875,000 and needed complete renovations....It does have a million dollar view though.....

difference in tile color,grain, etc. is ok, but not the cracked tile. Long story, but the tile is already miss-matched..looks like two different lots, so why not make it three... So here is the question: Does anybody know the common name for the marble in the photos? If I have a name, the search will be much easier. Thanks!

bad. There had never been an irrigation system, so the landscaping contractor installed a three station Rainbird. Where he tapped into the water supply, there is a hose bib, he dug down, tapped in, set it all up, and it worked great. The sod is nicely watered, all the heads are adjusted just right, really a "thing of beauty". Until today....when I was doing a final walk-through, and was flushing toilets, turning on faucets and showers to make sure they all functioned properly, no leaks, etc. Turned on the powder room faucet, and ....nothing. Not a drop. So I check the angle stops, yup, they are on. Must be that the water is off for some reason...I check the hose bib, no problem, water is flowing like it should. Water is on to the house...I scratch my head, as I wander around the property trying to make some sort of sense out of this bizarre water issue. I check the other faucets, the water heater, the interior shut-off, you name it, I checked it...Still no water except the hose bib. I left the hose bib on for a minute to make sure it wasn't just draining the left-over water in the pipes, nope, good strong pressure.... Then it happened. As I am walking back into the garage, the sprinklers come on...along with all of the open faucets, showers, back yard hose bib, everything! The home water supply, everything past the first hose bib is controlled by the new sprinkler system! You get a 10 minute window of time twice a day to use the water! Talk about conservation!...OK, so it will be fixed, but it was quite an odd finding. Turns out, he tapped into the main line that is oddly routed at the hose bib...Just thought I'd share, I got a good laugh about it....

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this, I thought you all might enjoy the photos.
