Kitchen Before Pictures

This is the Kitchen. We had to buy a stove and fridge when we moved in, so those will be staying and we'll be replacing the dishwasher and microwave.... if any one wants to buy a used (in good shape) microwave and dishwasher, you know where to find me! The cabinets will go all the way to the ceiling. (We're taking out the sophet.) They will have an espresso finish and will be the frameless type. We are also going to put canned lights in the ceiling (if we find an electrician that can do it!) We will add a corner cabinet where the trash can is and then exend a breakfast bar out from that. I'm really excited for the added cabinet space and counter space. More room for baking!
You can see the two different floors in this picture. We have already replaced the light fixture and will keep that. The table is new and will stay, but we need new chairs. I'm thinking the rug will go. Again...anyone want a large rug??? I've got no place for it!
Here's my nasty sink an faucet that NEVER come clean. I'll be looking forward to replacing them along with the laminate countertop that is terribly stained! We're looking at Silestone and an undermount stainless sink. Yippee! Don't worry... I won't try and sell you this... you wouldn't want it!
This is a good shot of our mismatched tile floor (and my comfy socks.) There is a piece of trim that separates them... seriously, they could have just grouted them together. It couldn't have looked any worse than this. The bad part about the tile is that it is laid on a concrete slab. That means lots of hard work to get the tile up. We have picked out a 12X24 tile that is a light cream color with a linen type texture to it.
This is our blacksplash and it really isn't horrendous, but we'll have to replace it when we take out the cabinets and countertops. This tile is in our downstairs bathroom too and we're leaving it there. The only thing we haven't picked out is tile for the backsplash. I'm thinking about red glass mosaic tiles. Tell me what you think!
