Our New Kitchen

When we moved into the house all of our appliances were the cream color and there wasn't an over the range microwave, so those things have been slowly updated.  We decided since we were going to put in granite counter tops we might as well get a new stove now since we were dealing with back splashes and we didn't want to mess the granite up afterward.  So here is a few before pictures... 


 A few torn up picutres...

 The back splash before was laminate (I think), and wasn't put up very well, so Wes didn't want to put the granite up with that stuff there, so he tore all that off.  I have to admit I was pretty nervous about it!  So here is the new granite, sink and faucet...

 We were thinking about doing a  tile backsplash, but decided the 6 inch granite looked really good, so we just had to come up with a color to paint it.  Wes picked the color I have to give him the credit, he's better at this stuff than I am!!  Wes also had to do some texture on the back wall to cover up the glue marks from the old stuff.  He did a great job!!
 This is the mostly finished product!  We got new hardware too, but the hinges didn't quite work with our cupboards so we are still needing to figure out what to do with those.  We love our new kitchen!!  We have to give a huge THANK YOU to Fred, he gave us some money and told us we had to do something fun with it.  So here's what we did with some of it  (it's going to help with the baby room too)!!  Thanks Pops we love you!!!

That kitchen is gorgeous. You must be in your third trimester because you're painting. We get a little nuts at that stage. Can you and Wes come remodel our kitchen?
