Remodel

When we moved into our house 11 years ago, it seemed so updated and new. Time and kids and wear & tear changes that. So we've been updating recently. New paint, new carpet, and finally a few updates in the kitchen.

The night before the new countertops went in, I handed the kids Sharpie markers and told them to "have at it." Notice the before coloring ... white countertops & backsplash and bleached out cabinets (you can't see the floor in these pictures but it was the exact same color as the cabinets -- too monochromatic).And the finished product ....
Major improvement, if you ask me. The floors were refinished, new countertops and backsplash. Those changes even gave the cabinets new life. We also extended the countertop so we have a bar for more seating. I couldn't be happier.
