New kitchen!

Most of you know that Jon and I (well, mostly Jon) have done MANY home improvement projects since we moved into 5316 almost 5 years ago. One project that we have talked about for the last 5 years was getting granite countertops. On Tuesday they were finally installed, along with a new 60/40 split sink and a brand new faucet! Classic Stone is the company we used, and they did a fabulous job. Of course, after they were finished, I wasn't sure about the old paint color, and Jon has never liked the light fixtures in the kitchen, so we upgraded those also while we were at it. Nothing can ever be easy... Did I mention we repainted twice because we didn't like the first color we picked out? It looks gorgeous now though, and we are very happy with our decisions!

Old counters, getting ready to be torn out!Big holes!We have this little coffee cart that had a granite top, but we had them replace that also so the granite was all matching.New counters and sink installed.New light fixtures. Don't look too closely; we still need to repaint the ceiling. O getting ready to help Daddy paint.Paint color #1. Too light, and not quite the right shade. The finished product. We went with a light brown/gray, and it looks fantastic!
