<p>Mommusic, hearing about your kitchen plans made me smile. If you can bear a sappy story…</p>

<p>Friends of my parents’ always used to save up to put in ceramic tile. But come summer, they’d end up blowing the tile money to take their kids on a long, exotic-for-those-days camping trip. By the time their youngest was sent to Vietnam, they still didn’t have the tile, but they did get letters where their son would write about how much he enjoyed the vacations. My dad always used to say that no one writes home bragging about his parents’ bathroom tile.</p>

<p>conyat–your dad was right about that!</p>

<p>Kids really don’t notice if your furniture is new or old, designer or not. They want it to be comfy for them and their friends.</p>

<p>My kids brag about our new bathroom tile! :slight_smile: We did a master bath remodel and can’t keep the teenage kids out. There is a waiting line to take showers in the new bathroom. Never underestimate good plumbing!</p>
