New kitchen!

Wow, we are in the middle of picking things out for our kitchen.................and it seems to be escalating into a whole house remodel! Now Graham wants to tackle the backyard too!

Kitchen:
Our cabinets are in really good shape but just ugly stained cabinets. It makes the room look dark so we are starting by painting them white and adding new hardware! You can imagine the white paint but here are the handles that I LOVE!!

Next off we are going to replace our counter tops. After ALOT of compromising with my wonderful husband (who has too much of an opinion about decorating, I assure you he isn't gay just likes things to look nice,lol) we agreed on these counter tops :

It's called Rustic Slate. Since all our appliances are new (we got when we moved in) and are black, and the cabinets will be white we thought it would look GREAT to have dark counter tops. If you know anything about my house I have used black as an accent color in almost every room. I'm not a dark person I just LOVE black! These counter tops will have alot of colors in them so the next owner will have alot of colors to choose from for the walls.

The other BIG project is to knock out half the wall between our living room and kitchen and make a bar. Our living room and kitchen are two pretty big rooms, so knocking this out will make it seem that much bigger and make it flow better. We are SO excited about this!

So our plan is to go order the counter tops tomorrow night and get started on knocking the wall down, then paint! Hopefully in the next 2 weeks we will have a new kitchen!!
