Where We've Been.....



We recently took on the larger than expected task of replacing our kitchen counter tops. This started around mid November- or the time of the last blog post- and is just now coming to an end. We had old 4x4 white ceramic tiles that had yellowed and became brittle. We both hated them and after much deliberation we chose to replace with granite tile.
Our weekends have gone something like this...

It started out with tear out and replacement of the old stuff. We left our mark...
In more ways than one!
Ha! We tried to cut a corner and not empty out the cabinets and drawers below. Ooops - more work made or us by us! Saw dust is EVERYWHERE!


To spare you all of more bad photography skills I'll jump to the good stuff; the way it looks today. There's still more work to be done but we are just thankful that we survived our first major renovation!

2009 has brought all new appliances to our kitchen, including the "Mac-Daddy" new stove I bought last week. Last week also included installation of the new sink, faucet and finally a disposal. I just -HEART- it! I'll love it even more when it's 100% finished. Speacial thanks to Mr. Kettering Cottage for bringing all of his A Game handy man skills.
