Our Home: Kitchen Redo

It seems like forever ago that we redid our kitchen, but really it was just about this time last year! We did our kitchen redos prior to even moving in... which was really nice...didn't have to live with missing appliances & dust flying everywhere. I will go into a little bit more about specifics in the kitchen at a later date (the floors & cabinets for sure) but wanted to go ahead and show the before & afters (and a few along the way)!

This was our kitchen when we bought the house... this picture doesn't really do the ugliness justice... everything (the cabinets, countertops, and appliances) were so dingy and dull. We're pretty sure they hadn't been replaced since the 60's when the house was built.

  4. They are granite, yes! Not sure if you are from Lake Highlands, but Manuel Zapata did them for us. Email me if you'd like his information... I'm not sure of the name of the place where he got the granite, but it was a big warehouse with all sorts of different choices & we chose this one because we wanted something black and simple - we love it!
