Kitchen Updates (ish)

When we moved into our home, pretty much the only room that didn't need some type of update was the kitchen. It was pretty beautiful. Granite counter tops, nice floors, stainless steel appliances...in fact, the kitchen is what really sold us on the house.

So the fact that I'm doing this "update" post really just means that I cleaned the kitchen and rearranged some things, so I thought it would be a good time to take some photos. I'll give you a taste of the before photos. Please excuse the poor-quality iPhone pics:


And here's what we've done with it. I think the most telling photos are the ones of the sink, which show the changes we've made in the living room. Yikes.


Now, if I had designed this kitchen I might have picked a different granite, and I definitely would have used a different wall color. But overall I think it's really quite beautiful and I am so incredibly thankful that we don't have to upgrade the kitchen at all. Kitchens can be so expensive, and we were dreading buying a fridge when we got a home....but the guy left his! One thing he refused to leave was the flat screen he had mounted on the wall by the desk, but oh well. He said it was a special gift from a family member. Alright guy, keep your TV.

Anyhow, we are still lacking a table and chairs in the bay window area, and need a chair for the desk, but that's really about it. I'm constantly rearranging things on the counters, so this current arrangement should stick for a couple months before I take everything off, set it on the center island thing, and rearrange all over again. Spending a couple hours cleaning, arranging and rearranging things until I think they look good is one of my favorite things. What can I say, it brings me joy :)
