Tile Massacre: Update

In a stunning twist, I don't have to redesign the kitchen! We went to the store to return the tiles this afternoon and discovered that the tiles that arrived were not the tiles we ordered. The surface design was the same, but the ones that arrived were terra cotta tiles with glaze as opposed to normal porcelain tiles. So the correct tiles will be arriving at the end of next week. And should survive the ride from Sao Paulo far better.
