Home Improvement Catch Up

 I haven't posted a house update in a while.  We've really only had time to do a few things.  But watch out! Here comes the kitchen!

 This is the kitchen on the day we closed. 
Notice the...
1.) Wood-grained countertops (I didn't even know they made something like this.)
2.) Cabinet hardware with ceramic inserts
3.) White appliances
4.) Plain white tile backsplash
5.) Bisque outlet covers (Really?? Bisque??? When everything else is WHITE? Why?)
6.) Look closely in the corner and you can see a homemade stained glass window. Gorg. 
7.) White walls
8.) White super shallow ceramic sink 
So you know... Stunning. 

 Here are our updates! Whee!!
1.) New Granite Countertops
2.) New Cabinet hardware
3.) Stainless Steel appliances
4.) New Backsplash!
5.) White outlet covers
6.) Plain fogged glass window
7.) Gray walls
8.) Stainless Steel Super DEEP sink
YAY!! Much more fun.  It was a lot of work but so worth it!

 Here's the backsplash and countertops up close. 

 No more homemade stained glass! Fun Martha Stewart knife set and more!

The bar area! Yay for drinks.  Of course we childproof the most important cabinet.
