I've actually been thinking about a weekend trip to the city sometime soon... But I have something specific in mind! When I was last there, I saw occasional shops in Chinatown packed to the gills with blue and white porcelain.

That's why I chose this pattern when I designed our kitchen. I do have a local soapstone source. Email me and I will send it to you ... as soon as I figure out where I put the info.

These workmen (& women) were such un-recognized artists of their time. <br /><br />The link to your kitchen tile job was very informative, too. Is your counter top soapstone? If so - may I ask who or where it came from? We're in Richmond and I've just started to scope out sources for local SS for a DIY counter replacement.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044082329456861302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-690423060109247212014-01-09T20:35:42.026-05:002014-01-09T20:35:42.026-05:00Love seeing the subway tile.

I am glad you took the time to take pictures. You are incredibly patient and resourceful. I don't think I can figure out how to lay the tiles on my own (if I even have the patience to lay the tiles in the first place!)cedarmerefarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884226522131587799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-4428410275939910062014-01-07T19:20:09.197-05:002014-01-07T19:20:09.197-05:00Oh those are really pretty!

I find trying to figure out the subway lines there confusing too. My daughter is in Brooklyn and I only take a direct line into the city when I'm visiting!
