Kitchen-Before and After

Some of you have asked to see the kitchen. Here are some before, during and after pics...

The wallpaper was put up 17 years ago and had long out-lived its life expectancy!

During...

We decided to paint the shelves in the pantry, and I'm so glad we did! The stained wood was so dark!!

Gotta paint the living room too!

It's starting to come together!

Once upon a time, there were three poopers, who used to have tons of attention and love...but during the kitchen project, they got really sad...or, maybe confused when living room furniture was sitting in the dining room!

Trying to find the perfect backsplash...

This would look great with Fiesta, but too much work if we ever tired of it, or wanted to go neutral

I think I drove my cousins crazy with all the picture texts asking which one they liked best!

FINALLY! A winner!!

We raised the counters up about 3 inches and I absolutely LOVE it!! These are the caibnets that Mr made. It took almost a year from start to finish. We still plan to put the stone over the door into the laundry room, but other than that, it's done! It looks so different! We still feel like we are in someone else's house!

With the exception of pulling out old carpet in the three bedrooms, I think we are done with major house renos! We've had one major project since we bought the house 24 years ago, it will be nice to not have a big project always waiting in the wings.

Hope you're having a great weekend!!!
