There wasn’t a lot that we could do differently with the kitchen layout due to the basement door being in the kitchen, but the glass accent tile and subway tile on the walls really diverted the attention to have a positive outcome.Here are some of the SKU’s we used in the kitchen: Floor Tile – Tahiti Gris 20?

Nile Gray (1000-004-476) Floor Grout – Bone (123-852) Shower Tile – White Subway 3” x 6” (833-452) Shower Accent – Keystone Interlock Glass (459-091) Shower Grout – Bone (123-851) Shower Faucet – Banbury 1-Handle Tub/Shower (243-261) Bathtub – 5?

We are thinking more along the lines of white subway tile with an accent row.

With 4x4 shower tile and subway tile you can often butt them into eachother because most modern tile have the spacers built into the tile.

For the top program that was $34,995 when I went through the 3 day workshop 3 years ago is a bargain rate compared to other franchises I looked into that required at least twice that much to millions to get into the franchise.I have never participated in their Mastery Program so I don't have any personal experience with it but going over the information they gave me it sounds like all the stuff Subway, Budget Blinds, MaidPro, Re/Max LLC or Anytime Fitness would provide you with for training and mentorship.They are not marketing it as a franchise that is just my view on it based on the similarities when I looked at franchises.They do tell you that you can take the information from their 3 day workshop and start doing deals in real estate.  

Relate a stabbing underground in the subway does not mean the participants were from that area.

Beautiful weather and a walking street close by with Hard Rock and Subway.

@Kyle Inbody as far as the cabinets go, you'd be surprised at how far a fresh coat of good self leveling cabinet paint will take your kitchen, especially when coupled with some good subway tile and crown moulding against the bulkhead (personally the bulkhead bothers me the most).
