We were putting in a new floor and the craftsman saw my quilts and commented positively. Later I asked about putting in a backsplash. We did a little "bartering" and I got my backsplash for a quilt. My husband thinks he got the better deal, but my backsplash is beautiful and well done. Sometimes bartering works, but in your case, I agree with your response.
