It has been a minute, but the projects have continued.

I seem better at finishing projects than posting about them. I now have several projects to post about and so will do my best to get caught up on all of those in short order. First off – wrapping up the kitchen. In a previous post, I had shown our before and mostly after of our kitchen. The last I showed we had not painted the room, didn’t have a backsplash, and didn’t even have a dishwasher or cooktop. For this quick post I want to show some more updated pictures of our kitchen. Our kitchen is by no means large and there are items I would do differently if I was redoing it now, but overall I am very proud of it. I chose a very light (basically white) gray – White Wisp. Our ceilings are only 8ft so it was important to me to make everything as light and bright as possible. I do love this color, but with time I have found it shows dirt and whatnot more than I would like so maybe a little darker would have been better. To not have everything be shades of gray I picked out a sea blue backsplash. The last picture looks like we did a terrible job of measuring tile, but this is behind the fridge so it is totally fine. We planned to go a little past the counter so the sheetrock wouldn’t show from behind the fridge. I now realize I never took a great after photo for once the grout was finished and all the residue cleaned up. I will have to get one and get it posted at some point. It is definitely a long ways from the yellow kitchen with terra cotta floors and 1970s cabinets!
