Thanks,
Katherine.

At first, I didn't pay attention to the thread, especially when it got
to car parts ) Then I got curious and now I remember seeing Aga's
long, long ago. My fave is Magic Chef from ?thirties. Ennyhoo, have
you considered glass? All kinds of stuff you can do with glass, from
tempered glass in a metal framework to form-molded stained glass. We
had to cover up an ugly, old metal tile backsplash and didn't want to
rip out the wall. Slapped some Formica-type stuff onto it (pick your
color/pattern) and put tempered glass with a pattern over the Formica.
F. glued in place, glass just hanging on with clear silicone all
around. Glass has a joint, but joint doesn't show because of the
pattern. Pattern is with smoothe side out for ease of cleaning. It had
to be cut, sent back to factory for tempering, and then delivered.
About 7'wide, across range/countertop below wall cabinets. About $70
for the glass. All sealed up so there is no condensation behind it and
cleaning doesn't cause anything to seep behind. Doesn't get very hot,
as I first thought it might get very hot and then crack if something
splattered on it. When I get tired of the pattern, I can cut the
silicone and take it down. I'm in love with the glass basins in the
restrooms at a restaurant nearby - form molded with colored glass, which
can be free-form or patterned. You would need a sturdy framework, but
that could be relatively simple. Let us know )

GLASS!

What a brilliant idea!

I'm going to have to bring that one, along with the car idea, to the
table this week end.
The more info you have for me, the better.

Thanks a million!

Katherine.
