Meet Milton and a Kitchen Update

Meet Milton.
 This big guy was sitting next to our mailbox and
 shocked The Hubby, he thought he was a rock until he moved.
He's a Florida Gopher Turtle.
 We figure he's probably about 25-30 years old.
Our house is a HUGE turtle loving house.
 We held him in our garage till Kricket got home from school
 then we took him out to the backyard.


 Kricket hopes he doesn't get away but we keep telling her, it's his choice.
 I also wanted to share with you the progress in our kitchen.
 I've gotten all the tile on the backsplash off.
 I've decided instead of doing beadboard I'm going to 
texture the wall to match the rest of the kitchen.
I used joint compound which is what I used on the rest of the kitchen.
  Now onto painting : )
Slowly but surely it's coming along : )

HI Deanna,
I hope Milton sticks around for awhile,he is really cute! I think your kitchen Idea is good,without tile or a back splash you can change it any time you want. Good luck
