KITCHEN BEFORE & AFTER

I was trying to organize pictures the other day which used to mean that you sift through a bunch of prints and put them in albums accordingly but now means labeling folders on my computer and transferring jpegs to them.

I came across this picture from the day we moved into our condo and the original kitchen. I often forget how bad it was. I think we've made some very good improvements even though it's taken us 5 years to do them.

1. We painted the walls first, that pattern was driving me crazy. I painted them a yellow-ish color that I never liked either but it was better than the faux finish. I just recently painted them gray.

2. We painted the cabinets black and added the silver hardware.

3. We had a wooden counter top built by my Step-dad.

4. We installed the subway tile back splash.

We're definitely done for now. What do you think?
