When we first moved into our little house on the hill we knew that there would be lots to do, and we were excited to put our own stamp on a barely touched home. Two years later we are still slowly plugging away at it room by room. Flipping through design magazines has now become an addiction. The first thing we did before we even moved in was scrape all that popcorn off the ceilings. It took ten years off the place! A well deserved facelift. The second, a year later, was the kitchen. This one brings a smile to my face every day. As you can see from the before pictures, the layout was fine, but all the cabinetry and appliances were 30 years old… and don’t even get me going on that “sunshine ceiling”!
The After! As you can see in this picture, there are little things that haven’t been done yet… and some still aren’t. Painting for example. We didn’t want to paint until all the renos on the main floor were done, so we could paint everything at the same time. That will happen very soon since our main floor bathroom is almost done. Can’t wait!

Thanks Angela! I told Jason to step it up on the painting so I can take the final pictures… lol.
Yep. Better. Much.

I totally don’t remember your old kitchen being so ugly. Man, what a difference; especially when you see the before and after. I covet your kitchen.
Thanks for your visit on my blog! Whoa….I LOVE your new kitchen!!!! Love the counter top and back splash – is that marble?
Thanks! The counter is Cashmire White granite, and the back splash is Venus Marble Mosaic Tile (1×2″) in Milky Way from Olympia Tile.
I really like the new card Rosa. You should give me some of your business cards so I can pass on your info to others.
