Through the Chaos

Sadie got a bit too curious about what I was painting



Remember the horrible old counter tops



The new counter tops and new sink too!


The old kitchen with nasty ceiling lights and ugly laminate counters and cabinets


Oak cabinets, new lights (we're painting the ceiling tray another color next week), the microwave is now above the range and we have new counter tops and tile on the floor. We still need to tile the back splash

From the other corner of the tiny kitchen



The new counter tops are much wider so the kitchen feels bigger. The industrial gray tile is gone from the floor and I love having a lazy susan in the corner for pots and pans.



Not bad for a budget remodel. I didn't like the oak cabinets at first but I think they look really good next to the black appliances and compliment the tile and granite. We could have spent so much more but for this little house, its perfect!



Its been a rough two weeks but we've made it through! We'll do the back splash before the end of the month and it will finally be DONE! I'll post bathroom photos over the weekend if I have time. It looks really nice too!



.....and now back to our regularly scheduled blogging!

  2. LOL.. I can't tell you how many kitty paw prints I had in my old condo. Nora had blue and green paint all over her ears while I was painting her room (oh god.. Did I just admit that again?)

  6. It looks fabulous! All the hard work is so worth it when you see the results, eh?
    I bet making meals here is more enjoyable, too.
    My kitchen is close to your before...I hope I can remodel soon.
    Enjoy your Holiday!

  10. I'm a latecomer to your blog but I'm really enjoying it. Had to say that when I was in college we were priming canvases and left them on the floor with the door open - oops! My cat began meowing and when we checked on her there were cat paw prints all over the newly primed canvases and a sorry looking cat with white feet. She hated being washed but she hated the gesso even more. Your kitchen lloks fabulous. I agree about the oak with the black appliances.

    I love my black appliances too. In the past I have had olive green, brown and even 70's gold...LOL!!
    I also got the oak cabinets too and I love the look together.
