Another Kitchen Update!

So we installed a new backsplash a while ago and it looks great! i just havent posted about it because my kitchen has been too messy to take a picture of it...until today that is ;0) Here are some befores...This first one is how we inherited our kitchen...

After we painted the cabinets and installed new hardware...
..Check out that hideous tile backsplash...Scary!

and some new and improved afters!...(With our new DIY backsplash!)




I also made a chalkboard out of an antique mirror i bought at a thrift store for $2...heres the before pic of that..

Here is our sink area (Matt installed a new faucet.)
My silly kitty...i ♥ her

  3. Unfortunately, something weird happened with your link at the FFF party, so I other people did not get a chance to see your great makeover! I think I'll repost the link, so they can. Anyway, well done with that kitchen! This is a great example of working with what you have and being creative. Everything looks great!

  6. Love your kitchen! I have a totally random question! I spied some Green retro canisters in your window. I bought some aqua ones at a yard sale this weekend that I think are the exact same! Did you have to clean yours up at all? Im trying to figure out how to do that to mine ( minor rust spots)

  9. I just love looking at your renovations! Is that beaded board you used for your backsplash? I've been wanting to do white subway tile but it's SO expensive. I thought about beaded board but was unsure- yours looks great!

  13. It looks great! Love the pop of color here and there. The white cabinets make it look so much more open and inviting. I love red! I had a red kitchen aid mixer too and it broke! Saddest day of my life.
