On to the Kitchen...

Who knew the worlds smallest kitchen could take the longest time!  I guess when the previous owner did nothing to update the house EVER you find out how much crap you have to tear out to see some progress.  First we got rid of all the 80's appliances, four layers of floor, removed a few cabinets, took off the plastic pink tiles for the backsplash (yes there were plastic!) and ripped out the old sink.  We will be relocating the stove, frig and adding a 18" dishwasher.  We originally thought we wanted new countertops but the odd sizes and shapes would be very hard and very costly to get made out of Corian/Granite.  So what we came up with was to keep the existing countertops and lay salt and pepper granite squares on top.  We got 12" marble chair rail for the edges will update with pictures when we get that far!  Got a beautiful farm house sink with Venetian bronze finish for the faucet.  We painted the cabinets and Katie from "Impatiently Praying for Patience" redid the cabinet doors and added trim to them.  We had the cabinet door painted white so they would pop against the wine color.  Looks great!  We are adding Anthropologie knobs, I love all their knobs so I buy them on sale $2.95 and they will all be random!  Subway tile is on the backsplash.  Got a really pretty roll of wallpaper from Lowes that is going in all my cabinets.  Starting to look like a kitchen.  Soooo much detail and soooo little time!
