Kitchen Reno........

We moved into our house at the end of May and it seems like we are still working on it. When we started looking for houses we knew we could not get a brand new one with a big yard space. We knew we would have to go with an older home to get more lot!! Every house we looked at it was either already under contract or need $60,000 of work. When we found the house we bought I fell in love with it but it needed some work. There where some things that I can live with but the kitchen I knew we had to redo it.. This kitchen was the original kitchen... The green counter tops were not cutting it for me
 BEFORE 




















I knew what I wanted to do but had a hard time picking out things. I have always loved white cabinets and wanted to do these cabinets white. I had a lot of different color and finally went with Dove White. It turned out amazing and I loved it.. Then we had a hard time with counter tops we kept going between quartz and granite. I really wanted marble but with a kid that was not going to happen. So we then went with granite after doing a lot of research.  One bad thing about picking granite is you can look at a sample and love it but then the slab dose not look anything like that. I would suggest gong to a warehouse and picking out the actual slab you are going to get because they are all different.. Here is the after pics.. We are still decorating and finding things to go in the kitchen

  2. It looks wonderful! We've been in our house almost 7 years and we still have half finished projects. The joy of a little country farm house. As we try to get it ready to sell we know it will be worth our effort. Fingers crossed that our buyer is waiting out there somewhere!

  7. This is so fantastic!! I'm so jealous of your white cabinets... we built six years ago and went with espresso cabinets because they were very trendy at the time, but lately I've been regretting it and wishing we had just gone with classic white... it's so much brighter!

    Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!
