Kitchen Makeover on a Budget

Counterpoints

Jennifer and Diane chose copper countertops for the kitchen. "These achieved the Tuscan/European feel we were looking for," says Jennifer. The rustic appearance of the copper adds to its personality and character.

Because they were so expensive, the tumbled marble tiles Jennifer and Diane first selected for the backsplash were out of the running. Instead, they achieved the effect they were looking for by using ceramic tiles that resemble stone.
