Kitchen Remodel Completed - Now Unhappy
We finally completed the tile backsplash today and the kitchen remodel is now finished! I absolutely love my Tyhoon Bordeaux granite, and cherry colored cabinets. But the one thing that I absolutely despise is my backsplash. It just didn't come out as I planned and I am regretting the choices I made. When I look at the kitchen, all I see is that hideous backsplash. I preferred my kitchen before the backsplash was installed! I really should have listened to all the posts about letting the granite be the show piece! TB is so gorgeous and I wish I would have kept it simple. Anyone else experience the kitchen blues?
I, too, got my backsplash in and HATED it. Installed, it didn't look ANYTHING like I thought it would. I had chosen a small mosaic mix of glass and stone that was way too busy and it competed badly with the granite. I had brown paper covering the granite during the backsplash installation, and when I took it off, I was shocked at how terrible it looked. When I woke up the next morning, I knew that there was no sense grouting the job ... it had to come out. A complete waste of time and money to be sure, but I knew that I hated it and that was not going to change. I definately made the right decision and am very, very happy that I didn't waste time trying to make myself like something that I hated. I removed it immediately ... cement only gets harder with time.

Sleep on it. You can always rip it out later.
I have been going through similar motions every day this week. By the end of each business day, I hated my kitchen the way it was turning out. I questioned every choice I make. I wanted to post a vent here every single nigh asking for help (or comforting), LOL. Then I spent most of each evening in the kitchen trying to get used to it. By each morning, I was OK with it - so far, at least.
And IME, grouting may change the way it looks. It did for my master bath.
Waiting for pix...
I know how you feel. I really dislike my backsplash also. I have decided to work with it for now by changing some other things and being creative. Then.... we'll see. If I still don't like it, out it comes. I like simple and I haven't seen anything else I think would work. Hopefully yours is not as bad as you think. If you can post a picture. You can get great advise here.
I have an especially hard time getting used to anything new. If I can get past the first few weeks where I want to impulsively change it just because I'm not used to it, I usually mellow. Not always though... DH just painted our guest room for the third time and our main bathroom is on color #4. (#5 will be the charmer, I'm sure!) On the other hand, I am still as in love with my living room as I was the day we finished it. I am sure it is fine and will harmonize the more you live with it but it can also be changed if you still feel this way after a while.
MsMaryMac, my advice would be to live with it for a week or two and then reevaluate. I am in the process of renovating our kitchen and more often than not I second guess my choices of material and design, but I find as the days go by I'm not as critical of the outcome and am getting used to the look. I know from my own experience I was expecting a picture perfect magazine kitchen. I'm not so sure these exist in real life where we don't have the benefit of filtered lenses and perfect lighting and staging. Perhaps if you share your pictures you can get some reassurance or resolutions from the GW group. I bet it looks better than you think, as they say sometimes we can be our worst critics.
You are not alone! I chose an off-white plain subway tile for my backsplash, custom order, and the tile came in a full shade darker, maybe even a shade and half darker. Now that it is installed, when the lights are on at night, it looks beige, not off-white and I am soooo disappointed. It doesn't match the sample at all. It has been 6 months since installation and I have still not learned to like it. I am trying to figure out what to do.
Ripping it out and starting over would be good except for the cost!
Do post a picture of yours and let us see. Maybe it isn't as bad as you think!
Thanks for the replies GW friends! It's now day two and the grout is now dried. It definitely lightened up from the wet brown look. I actually woke up at 3am thinking about that "darn backsplash"! I often consume myself worrying about such petty things. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only who has experienced this. Maybe 10 years from now I will rip it out and start anew. I just can't fathom spending over $1200 dollars again so soon. The mosiac glass is from Arizona Tile called Harvest. And the tile is a limesone called Romania.
it looks pretty good to me. the backsplash in general looks fairly neutral. i think your granite is still the star and the small glass mosaic matches it really well. I wouldn't worry about it. you probably just are tired and second-guessing yourself.
I like the consistency in a silver-gray tone that I see running through
- the granite
- the backsplash tile
- the glass mosaic
Are your appliances stainless?
I bet that silver-gray tone looks great near them, with the mosaic providing the strongest tone tie-in.
I like it. I bet from a distance it still looks great since from a distance looking at your kitchen, the prominent surface would be the vertical; the backsplash, and the gray / silver in the mosaic would blend with the stainless in your appliances.
Okay, I had myself all braced for BS hell but I didn't find it! You know, it may not be all you had hoped for in terms of making your granite the star, but this looks pretty darn cohesive from my computer screen. It might even grow on you, now that you are recovering from the trauma of BS shock.
For two pictures, don't you just copy and paste one HTML right after the other? Unless it's changed in the last few months, that's what I do.
Lovely backsplash... I too thought it would not match or be gosh-awful, but it's really very nice! Neutral, doesn't detract from your granite and once you get accessories and the every day stuff up there (coffee makers, towels, etc), it'll all work out great. Matches wonderfully.
Whew! Breathing a sigh of relief-your choices are lovely. Makes me want to put a deposit on typhoon bordeaux granite today! Thank you!
I think your backsplash is beautiful! It always takes a while to get used to new things - your eye has to adjust to the new color scheme. I really like it because it has a a range of subtle colors and a range of textures too that makes for an interesting splash.
I hope mine looks that bad, lol! I think it's lovely, though maybe IRL it doesn't match as well as on the screen? Once you put everything back in the kitchen and on the counter I bet it will not stand out as much and you will love it. I don't think it takes away from the granite at all, and it ties your colors together beautifully.
I think your backsplash is beautiful and I love everything about it. The neutral tiles complement the mosaic and it all works beautifully with your countertops and cabinets. My Mother would say, the mosaic is like putting lipstick on a beautiful woman and I agree!
From your post I thought you had created a horror. There are so many posts here where there's a gal asking how you like this tile with this granite and I want to write "lady are you blind, nuts or both!!!" I'm the queen of "it's going to be too busy", or "it's going to be too much pattern", and your backsplash is beautiful with your granite. I don't like a lot of pattern myself, but all the elements work beautifully together. You should be proud of it, not upset!
Like with a new haircut, the eye needs time to adjust. You are used to seeing it one way, and all of a sudden it's now something else. You did a great job, and now enjoy your new, beautiful kitchen.
PLEASE guys. Speak up when you see someone comtemplating a REAL horror of a combination. So many of us are polite, but some choices I can't even look at here! Your's is lovely...Really!!!
Remember people! Friends don't let friends install horrendous counter and backsplash combinations...LOL!
I agree with the others that your splash is far from "hideous" ... the limestone is very neutral, and the colors of the mosaic band coordinate nicely. Perhaps it didn't turn out the way you saw it in your mind's eye, but it is still lovely. It looks great!
I think your backsplash is nice. Give it a few more days to get used to it. The grout will probably lighten up a little more. We have a very similar backsplash without an accent. I agree with the suggestion to change the white switch plate covers. Love Typhoon Bordeaux granite. Please share pictures of the rest of your kitchen.
I don't think it is bad looking, per se, but what you may be seeing is the blending of the similar colors between the granite (really nice BTW) counter and the backsplash. If it had more of a contrasting (but complimentary) color, it may have popped more.
Did your electrician run out of covers or something? That is what draws my attention the most.
Its perfectly fine, and I am a person who has no problems telling an internet-stranger when something is really off. The haircut analogy is perfect; live with it a while.
I will echo the comment about getting some new outlet covers; almond would work. There is also a firm that will make ones from stone tiles, at a price.
We could probably fill several message board threads with examples of BS/Counter mismatches (taken from real estate photos and maybe even Houzz).
Slightly OT, but does anybody know where I can get a tile mosaic of a nude Rhianna?
Marcolo, how dare you criticize the nude mosaic portrait of Rihanna that we just installed in our backsplash?!?!? Who are you to judge?!?! Different strokes for different folks, right?!?
We used iridescent glass tiles in various shades of brown, and the iridescence gives it a sort of mystical feel, like "nude Rihanna as a mermaid." But my husband wanted something more manly, so we compromised by framing the Rihanna portrait with 4x4 square tiles made of used tire tread. I think it came out pretty nice.
MsMary - I was expecting something horrific from your description. (And how am I missing the nude? Sorry - at this time we all need some laughs)
I think you need to give it some time and then make a decision.
I agree on the outlet covers - I think it will help.
Hang in there..
Have to agree with nearly all of the above posters! I think that perhaps what is putting you off is the linear pattern of the limestone and the glass mosaic tiles against the swirly pattern of the granite (which is gorgeous, and actually looks quite similar to the Aran cream I just picked for my BR). Sort of like wearing a striped top with a paisley skirt. The colours are OK, but something isn't quite perfect. However, saying that, it certainly isn't so bad that I would even contemplate taking it out and starting over. Once you place all 'your stuff' back on the counters, your eye won't be so drawn to what you are perceiving as not the ultimate vision you had. I think it's actually really helpful for people to see this, and then perhaps rethink how they might plan a backsplash with a busy granite. To be honest, when I scroll through pictures of finished kitchens, I think the BS is the area where most people miss the mark. But that's only my opinion, and full disclosure, it took me over 3 years of living with a painted backsplash until I found the perfect one (and who knows, maybe not everyone else thinks it's wonderful, but I do).
Thanks everyone for the reassurance! I'm slowly getting used to the BS. It didn't quite turn out the way I imagined, but I think I'll eventually adjust. I fall in love with my TB over and over. Funny, it was actually my third choice and we only selected it because it came in the length we needed without having to do a seam. BTW, I'm taking a trip to HD today for those almond colored outlets! Electrician coming out tomorrow for undercab lighting.
Incidentally, since we loved the mosaic nude Rhianna so much, decided to do one in the master bath. :)
I'm wondering if you're seeing a mismatch because the gold tones in the granite aren't in the BS at all, just the gray and tan tones? Personally, I don't consider it a mismatch. The mosaic tiles do, however, have amber tiles which connect the two surfaces, and I really like it.
Photos: if you using the "image file upload" at the top of the post box, then, yes, you can only do one at a time. If you want to post multiple of your own photos, you need to use Photobucket or another photo storage site.
I think you did a fabulous job integrating all of the patterns and colors together.
I was trying to figure out what you were seeing and the only thing I could think of was, the glass tiles are square and the subway tile is longer and the granite has rivers of color running through it. They are different dimensions but they blend beautifully! The colors in the glass tiles pick up all the colors in the granite. The subway tile is subdued and lets the granite be the star.
All in all, you have managed to do what few people have and that's coordinate counters and backsplash so they melt into each other. well done!

Check left side main menu for the Tim Horton's Mixed draw schedule...
Some of the Province's best curlers arrive at Twin Rivers March 25-29 for the Tim Hortons Provincial Mixed Championship.
Events passes ($40) are on sale at TRCC and daily passes ($10) will be available at the door.
Included with your event or daily pass is entertainment provided by Eddie Leaky and the Dipsticks (Fri night) and Bruin Eberle (Sat night).
Check out the Facebook page for the Hit N Stay Restaurant and Bar, located upstairs at the Northland Power Curling Centre.
As sad as it might seem there is no curling at the Northland Power Curling Centre during the summer months, so does that mean the building is closed and everyone has gone home? Not at all.
The building has lots, and lots of useful space and most of it is for rent, even the area we know as the ice surface which is now a large cement floor area suitable for many, many different types of events.
During the non-curling season of 2014 the building has already booked, or hosted a major trade show, a car show and sale, wedding receptions, comporate and organizational annual meetings, retirement functions, awards dinners, and is home (as the practice facility) for the Battlefords Roller Derby League. There is no end to how creative we can be.
If you, your business, or your organization are looking for useful and affordable event space give the rink a call - 306-937-2431 - to discuss your needs, your budget, and our ability to make things happen for you.
Following is a list of events, bonspiels and playdowns this season at Twin Rivers Curling Club in the Northland Power Curling Centre:

Certainly the Rafdroing Android version looks the best, but there are some risks around it and I do not see too may comments about users. The Android Ice Cream or Jelly looks also interesting and looks easy and theres are other Androing version too easy to install. Why I am looking to change my OS from my HTC HD2 Leo ?

DoD eliminates renter's insurance from BAH
by Senior Airman R. Alex Durbin
633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs
3/27/2015 - JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS. Va. -- Following recent changes to Department of Defense Basic Housing Allowance policies, U.S. Service members living in privatized base housing will no longer automatically receive renter's insurance through property management companies.
Since privatization, Service members who live in military housing communities were automatically provided renter's insurance through the terms of their lease agreement with property management companies who were compensated through monthly BAH allotments for rent, utilities and renters insurance.

For pictures and video of our 2014 Veterans Day Ceremony, follow this link: http://www.uc.edu/aess/vps/veterans-day-ceremonies.html

Women's History Month
A wise person once said that "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." As we equate the month of March with unpredictable weather, the beginning of spring, baseball, and spring break, we should always remember that March is Women's History Month.
For those who may not know, Women's History Month started out humbly as Women's History Week in 1978. In 1980, President Carter issued a presidential proclamation that designated the week of March 8 as National Women's History Week. As the popularity of Women's History Week grew, in 1987 it was declared Women's History Month.
As we celebrate Women's History month, we should never forget the contributions that our sisters have had in the defense of our nation. From the onset of the Revolutionary War, to the most recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, women have served together with men in some capacity. Despite all of the accomplishments that female service members have made, there are still some challenges that remain.
According to the Veterans Administration, in 1950, there were only 2% of females that served in uniform. Currently, females make up 14% of active duty and 18% of National Guard and Reserve soldiers. This same study notes that female soldiers are exposed to more direct-fire events with armed enemy combatants; and because of this fact, female soldiers are sustaining more complex and severe injuries, just like their male counterparts. (1)
I would encourage all student veterans of the University of Cincinnati to take some time out of your busy schedule and read about the exploits of female veterans. Learn about Revolutionary War veterans Deborah Samson and "Mad Anne" Bailey. Read about the trials and tribulations of Buffalo Soldier Cathay Williams. Or share with your family the story of Air Force pilot, and the first female commander of a Space Shuttle, Col. Eileen Collins. These brave women all served the United States during times of armed conflict.
Before I close this letter, I would encourage you to visit the exhibit profiling female veterans who are also current UC students. This exhibit can be seen in Tangeman University Center, on the 3rd floor. There will also be displays at UC Blue Ash, UC Clermont, and the UC Medical Campus throughout the month of March.
Also, save the date for Tuesday, March 24th at 6pm. We will be hosting our "Sisters-in-Arms" event at Tangeman University Center, room 300 (atrium). This discussion will focus on the stories and struggles of local female veterans, followed by a question and answer session with the audience. We will also have in attendance local representatives that specialize in addressing the needs of female veterans.
Thank you veterans and Go Bearcats!

McGILL ENGLISH GRAD WINS GILLER PRIZE
Ambitious novel nets grad a Giller
by Daniel McCabe, BA'89
Do a Google image search of author Sean Michaels, BA'04, the winner of the 2014 Scotiabank Giller Prize, and you'll notice something straight away – at least in the photos that don't feature burly pro wrestler Shawn Michaels. Sean, the Montreal-based author, looks like an unassuming guy who is at his most comfortable rocking a hoodie. Not the sort of fellow who typically turns up at a swanky soirée.

Dry Cuticles??
Hi Ladies
Ok is there a proper way to care for these things? Are you suppose to trim them or leave them? Also my are very very dry and lotion just doesn't help any suggestions?
No, don't cut/trim them, just push them back. What lotion do you use? Eucerin is good. Vaseline has new product specially for hands that is great (I've to dig through my stash to get the exact name). Olay Total Effect has special cream for cuticles in pen-style. Right now I use Olay Total Effect Hand Intensive Treatment which has SPF and at night I use AmLactin 12% (lactic acid) for hands, elbows and feet. I got my AmLactin at Costco in big bottle. I don't know if drugstores carry it in smaller size or not. I love it, keeps my hands and feet soft.
You'll hear all sorts of opinions on the whole cutting/not cutting issue (I trim mine because they seem to grow triple time). I suffer from some kind of eczema as well on 6 of my 10 fingers. I've tried EVERYTHING under the sun to keep the cuticles soft and the inflamed, red, itchy eczema under control and you'll never believe what works. Has your DM ever told you to use your Blistex on your dry, chapped nose when you have a cold and have blown it too much? Well, I use medicated Blistex (the dark blue pot) on my cuticles and it's AMAZING!!! I've had problem with my cuticles/eczema for over a year, where the problem was constant and ongoing (I could never get to go completely away for more than a week). I've been using the Blistex once a day for 6 weeks, and my hands/naiils have looked great the whole time! I know it sounds crazy, but give it a try! It's not very expensive and if you're only using it on your cuticles, it will last forever!
The most important thing is to use the lotions and creams regularly all day and before bed. If I forget my cuticles are dry and hanging by the end of the day.
A paraffin spa using a tea tree oil scented wax is a wonderful end of the day treatment in winter. I dip my hands and feet, wrap them in plastic , put on mitts and slippers and let them cool off, then peel off the wax and rub in more lotion or cream.
I really like blistex ... like chapstick but it has a bit of a fresh tingle
If its really bad I put petrolium jelly on cuticles before bed and wear lotion gloves, the next morning I push them back and just trim whatever looks like might turn into a hangnail.
olive oil. grapeseed oil. after a shower, rub it in to your whole hand, then use the pad of your thumb to push back the cuticles on the opposite hand... after thre days of this, they should 'free' themselves, and be more mobile and supple.
NAIL JUNK KILLS CUTICLES. polish. remover. fiberglass. acrylic. all of it. lay off it for a while- learn to give yourself a real 'french' manicure, where the nails are buffed and oiled on the tops, and whitened with a pencil (revlon and sally hansen both make them) under the free edge.
carmex, blistex intensive, and the like are ok- but burt's bees (the healing comfrey balm with lavander especially) is better, since it had no petroleum in it.
vaseline is addicting- petroleum is hydrophillic- meaning it will suck the moisture out of your skin- I have accues them of doing this deliberately, so the more you use, the drier your skin gets, the more cream you slather on, the more cream they sell...
but I can't prove a word of it.
Mine used to be dry and cracked all the time, which led to painful hangnails. But no problems anymore - I've been using Avon Moisture Therapy Hand Cream for Extremely Dry Skin for years now. It's the same formula as Neutrogena hand cream but much cheaper. I keep one at work, one in my bag, one by the bed, etc.
chinacat - "NAIL JUNK KILLS CUTICLES. polish. remover. fiberglass. acrylic"
Sorry but that's just not true. Polish remover is drying but that's why you moisturize after each manicure. Polish protects the nails. Any any good nail tech doesnt let acrylic or fiberglass touch the cuticles. That's why it's important to let a professional apply enhancements.
Ladies, get some Solar Oil, some Sally's Beauty Supply sells it. Or ask your nail technician to order it for you.
Put a drop on each cuticule and massage in each night.
You'll see.

Cases filed against activists of both groups; hartal peaceful
Posse of policemen deployed at MuchukunnuInjured admitted to taluk hospital, medical college
KOZHIKODE: The police are on their toes following clashes between the workers of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Rashtriya Sweyamsevak Sangh (RSS) in the rural areas of Kozhikode district.
At least 19 persons were injured in clashes between CPI (M) and RSS workers at Muchukunnu, near Koilandy, on Sunday night.
Six of them were admitted to the Koyilandy taluk hospital and the rest to the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital.
A large group of policemen has been posted in the area. Cases have been registered against the activists of both the parties at the Koyilandy police station in connection with the incident.
A wordy duel over the functioning of an RSS shakha triggered the clashes between the CPI (M) and the RSS, the police said.
Meanwhile, the 12-hour hartal called by the CPI (M) at Muchukunnu on Monday passed off peacefully.
Shops closed
Shops and other commercial establishments remained closed. However, the movement of vehicles was not affected. In another incident, one person was injured in a clash between CPI (M) and BJP activists at Oorathu, near Kuttiyadi, on Monday morning.
The Kuttiyadi police took into custody two persons in connection with the incident.
The injured BJP activist Nadukandi Dharmarajan was admitted to the hospital.
A gang of six persons attacked him.
The police are camping in the area to prevent further clashes.

MTMC coordinates creative resupply missions.
An Army supply vessel proved to be the key factor. The Fort Eustis, Va., based logistics support vessel, LTG William B. Bunker, was tapped for both a highly unusual sea-to-air cargo discharge and as a temporary storage site for Hellfire missiles.
The solution was formally developed by Capt. Kyle Reichle, an Army Reserve officer serving as Acting Commander of MTMC Kuwait Detachment.
The first call for assistance came from the U.S. Army's Camp Doha, Kuwait. After several resupply efforts to deliver critically needed parts for Australian helicopters had failed, 1st Lt. Delia McKelvey called upon MTMC for help. Along with Sgt. 1st Class Carla Watson and Sgt. 1st Class Sharon Davis, Reichle approached Chief Warrant Officer Patrick May, Captain of the Bunker, with a unique proposal: A sling load of the aircraft rep. air parts would be put on the vessel, which would then stand off into the Persian Gulf. The cargo would be lifted directly from the vessel's deck by helicopter.
"The weather cooperated with us," said Chief Warrant Officer Joen Petersen, the Bunker's Executive Officer.
As the Australian helicopter hovered over the ship, Army crewmembers attached cargo loads to the aircraft's lifting straps. The cargo was then lifted to its customer, an Australian naval vessel.
"It was a most unique ship-to-air resupply mission, the first in the vessel's history," said a proud Petersen. "The crew executed flawlessly."
In the dramatic operation, Reichle was an unusual participant. Normally, he is an Active Guard-Reserve officer assigned to the 1194th Transportation Battalion, Mobile, Ala. What is he doing in Kuwait?
Reichle was selected for a 179-day temporary tour of active duty. During the time of the operation, Reichle was serving as the Acting Commander of the Kuwait Detachment.
Reichle's creative approaches to transportation challenges did not end there--a second joint MTMC and Bunker partnership was yet to come.
Under Reichle's leadership, the MTMC team assisted the Bunker in the conduct of the first U.S. in-stream upload of ammunition in the Persian Gulf. The mission: Deliver a resupply of Hellfire missiles.
The missiles were on board the Cornhusker State, a U.S. Maritime Administration Ready Reserve Force ship under Military Sealift Command's operational control. The munitions cargo could not be discharged, as it exceeded the limit allowed in the Kuwaiti port.
Working closely with Military Sealift Command representatives, the 831st Transportation Battalion's Kuwait detachment soldiers developed a solution: An in-stream discharge of cargo from the Cornhusker State to the Bunker.
"It was an outstanding opportunity for us," said May.
For the discharge, May carefully navigated the Bunker alongside the bigger vessel. To ensure safety, great caution was used. To accomplish the discharge, cranes from the Cornhusker State were used to discharge the missiles onboard the Bunker.
"Sounds easy," said Petersen. "Only problem is the Cornhusker State is huge compared to the logistics support vessel. When the crane was loading the containers on our deck, the operator could not see exactly what was happening."
The crane operator watched a signalman on the Cornhusker State, who was relaying the signals from Petersen onboard the Bunker.
"We took this slow and easy," said May.
The discharge mission was a success.
The work of the 831st Transportation Battalion and the Bunker did not end there. Other missions have included work with a multitude of coalition partners. The diversity of cargo and missions has included movements of ammunition, materiel-handling equipment, food and Christmas mail. The experience has developed a seasoned and well-trained crew, said May. The heavy workload, he said, has produced quality training and excitement--and no complaints from the crew.
"The crew, composed mostly of new soldiers, has really come together," said May.
The Bunker left Fort Eustis on Oct. 22. Up to that time, the vessel had steamed 16,000 miles in a transit of the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea and Persian Gulf. In one 73-day period, the vessel and crew were under way 66 days.
MTMC is the provider of choice in the U.S. Central Command area of operations, said Maj. Robert Russell Jr., Executive Officer, 831st Transportation Battalion.
"We are the ones that conduct or assist vessel discharge and port clearance of U.S. military cargo in this area," said Russell. "Also, coalition partner nations are turning to us for assistance on a regular basis.
"We are the only ones in this area of operations who do the routine loading and discharge missions of such cargoes as ammunition and equipment and port clearance missions," added Russell.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Vin Scully poked fun at himself after word came out that he plans to return for his record 66th season in the Los Angeles Dodgers' broadcast booth next year.
"I agree with everybody else: It's a long time to be working at one job with no advancement," he said, smiling.
The 86-year-old Hall of Fame announcer, his red hair faded by the years but still in good health, continues to be thrilled describing the action on the field.
"It really is a privilege and good fortune to have this job," he said Wednesday. "I've loved it from Day One."
Scully was reminded of his love for the game in the third inning of Tuesday night's game against Atlanta. B.J. Upton tagged up at third and charged toward home on a fly ball to centre. Yasiel Puig used his cannon of an arm to throw home, with Upton scoring ahead of the tag.
"After that I sat back and thought that's the way you were the first day you started doing this game," he said. "You see this play building and it just gets to you. That play last night convinced me."
The Dodgers revealed Scully's return on Tuesday, when talking microphones featuring his dulcet tones were given away to fans. The crowd reacted with a standing ovation for Scully, who waved from his booth. The umpiring crew joined in the applause.
"It was very difficult last night, not only to stand there and hear and receive the ovation, but I still feel like I haven't done anything except show up every day at work," he said. "When I sat down, as quickly as I could, it was this overwhelming 'Thank God I can get back to doing the game.'"
Scully has never prepared words to say, only statistics to read on the air.
"I want it to be as honest as possible," he said. "There are a lot of times I drive home saying, 'Dummy, why didn't you say what you're thinking of right now?'"
Scully's consecutive years of service make him the longest-tenured broadcaster with one team in sports history. He calls all nine innings of the team's home games and road games in California and Arizona for the Dodgers' new television home on SportsNet LA, while the first three innings of his games are simulcast on the radio.
He acknowledged that the years have slowed him in some respects.
"Maybe I was quicker in coming up with an occasional good thought more so than now," he said. "Once in a while I'll blunder into a good line."
Scully said his decision to return was not influenced by the dispute between Time Warner Cable and other cable subscribers that is keeping 70 per cent of the Los Angeles television market from seeing the team's games so far this season.
Only customers of Time Warner and a couple of its partners have been able to watch, while subscribers of major providers such as DirecTV, Dish Network, Verizon and AT&T have been shut out. Even Scully can't watch road games since he lives in an area not served by Time Warner.
"It's heartbreaking not to be able to share with the entire community," he said.
Scully began his professional broadcasting career in 1950 with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He has called three perfect games, 25 World Series and 12 All-Star games. He was behind the microphone for Kirk Gibson's Game 1 homer in the 1988 World Series, Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Hank Aaron's record-setting 715th home run and Sandy Koufax's four no-hitters, including a perfect game.
After wrapping up his 30-minute chat with the media, manager Don Mattingly came into the room.
"I've got to follow that act?" he joked.
Mattingly is busy during games so he doesn't hear Scully, but fans often tell him what he's missing.
"It's like the gospel," he said. "The way he paints the picture is so cool."
Scully isn't sure he'll know when it's time to retire because, as he says, "I've never had the feeling."
What he does know is that once he bids farewell, he won't hang around. And unlike many of his listeners, to whom his voice has meant summer in the city for decades, he is unsentimental about leaving.
Scully ticks off the names of famed announcers Red Barber, Mel Allen, Jack Buck and Harry Caray who left their respective teams after years on the job.
"I'm not fooling myself," he said. "The Dodgers will roll right along merrily whether I'm here or not."

"This once in a life-time experience really interested me in learning new languages and I would describe it as one of the best learning opportunities I have ever had. What made it even more special was that I had never won such a big trophy in my life!"
"It felt amazing to win the JLC. I am really looking forward to going to Malawi and seeing how JLC has helped children's education there."
"The competition inspired me to learn languages; I am looking to apply to university to do law and Spanish or interpreting and translating. The JLC was an amazing experience and I was proud to be part of it."
All entrance fees from the JLC are donated to onebillion, a non-profit company set up to reach children in developing countries, where lack of resources makes a good education hard to obtain. In Malawi, they have already established two oneclass learning centres, providing their apps in the local language, on tablets powered by solar power.
To find out more about onebillion and the apps they make for individuals and schools here in the UK, please visit their website.
