Finally Finished

It's official. My kitchen is finally finished. I'm pretty sure that when we began this long journey 7 months and 19 days ago, I never thought it would take this long. I absolutely love the end result and would definitely say it was worth it. I'm not sure Travis would say the same, but he did a great job. All I have left to do is a little decorating. The walls are bare, but I'm sure in time I'll find something to fill them up with! That just means more shopping for me!

This is my final post on the kitchen. Not to worry, though. We have many other home improvement projects that are patiently waiting on us. I'll keep you posted!

Curtains and Grout

This weekend Travis finished grouting the tile and did a couple of paint touch-ups. I finally found some curtains for the back door. I usually like to make my own curtains because it is usually cheaper, but this time I couldn't find any fabric that was just the right color. Then I ran across these at BB&B. Acutally, Travis picked them out. The color is perfect.

Now I'm working on making a roman shade for over the sink. In the process, I found a new use for the peninsula... craft station!!! It is the perfect height for standing, scratch resistant and cleans up well. Now I don't have to stoop over the table and worry about scratching it!!!

Finally a Backsplash

The backsplash is up. It's not grouted yet. We still have a little painting to do, some trim at the top and the kick plates under the sink cabinets. There will also be pendant lights over the peninsula! We're getting so close!

The dining room isn't much different other than the floor, paint color and a new rug. We will be ordering new chairs and curtains for the back door soon. Still looking for something for the wall!
