Kitchen Remodel

We have been very ambitious with our little old house.  Our latest project was remodeling the kitchen.  We kept the cabinets, raised them up, installed a DISHWASHER, got granite countertops and a new sink, added some cabinets on the other side of the kitchen, put up a beautiful green subway tile backsplash, and viola!  New kitchen!

Right now, we are currently putting in a window air conditioner in our attic.  The A/C we have doesn't quite cut it up there, but the rest of the house is delightful.  We also are going to finish our basement bathroom, to make a grand total of 3 bathrooms in our house.  What!? THREE bathrooms in a 1927 house?  Yep!  One on each floor!  I am also working on plans for more functional closets and a kitchen command center (We have a little nook where an ironing board used to be.  It will be epic!)  A homeowner's work is never done...

Before.  Yucky, old, Formica countertops from who knows when.  Also, no built-in dishwasher.

After.  Dishwasher, granite countertops (Ubatuba was the stone we used), gorgeous faucet, beautiful, green, porcelain, subway tile backsplash.  It all looks great with our recently (two years ago) refinished hardwood floors.  P.S. The green tile was ordered online, and when we got it, we found out that it is the exact shade of our living room curtains.  What can I say?  We love green!

 Before.  Portable dishwasher that we had to vacuum out after every use, because it didn't drain.  (Ghetto!)  No cabinets between the fridge and the stove.

After.  No portable dishwasher to vacuum out, cabinet with granite countertop.  Doors still yet to be completed.

We have a few finishing touches to do, but I love my new kitchen!
