    NOT a metro splashback.

    This is a kitchen splashback that Gary did with me in Hoxton East London. 2400 X 800 x 6mm porcelain from the casadolcecasa magnum range, Calacatta. No joints except for the corners, definitely something that could catch on I believe.

    Why Not Post..

    ...more often rather than just adding your profile to the new directory? Only my opinion but it seems a shame that there are a lot of members who never seem to post but are very quick to put their details in the directory.
