From this to THIS!!

So. . . it's obviously been a LOOOOOng time since i've posted, but it's only because we have been working on the kitchen, and i didn't want to do a small post about paint. BORING! so here it is. what ya'll have been waiting for. the transformation of the ugly to the pretty. my kitchen!! oh I cannot forget the fantastic help of Lance, Nancy, Jon and Abbie oh and of course my awesome hubbs Dane for making this kitchen remodel possible!

This is before we even touched the kitchen.

Look at that sickly glass. EWW. so glad that is gone.

On the last post, i told you all about my floor. Well, here are some picks of how sick the floor is. We couldn't have pulled it up without this awesome tool we rented from the Depot.
This is the floor down to the nitty grittyThis is hardy backer. It pretty much is the best thing ever!! it levels out your floor (as much as possible) and you screw it down into your sub floor t eliminate creaking and to secure it.

This is the first setting of the tile. Jon McBride helped us out a TON to get this kitchen started.

When Jon had to leave, we finished up the floor. good for amateurs right??

This is the floor when it was newly grouted, for the record, i grouted the kitchen and Dane did the Laundry room. He was watching the soccer game. He did awesome at cleanup!

Floor all done!!

Onto the paint! i like bright colors in kitchens. it is just so fun and happy. apparently. . . i struggled. . . .a lot.

Thanks to Nancy i was able to go through 9 paint samples and pick the BEST color!

drumroll please! Yes, i built this myself. We were getting our granite installed, and the two ends of the stove were seriously unlevel. so i built a big shim to make it even. unfortunately, it was WAY to high, and they ended up taking it off and leveling it themselves. they did better than me. But they recommended i become a contractor.

This doesn't do the paint justice. it look yellow and gross. it's actually a really subtle, yet fun lime green.

upclose shot of the granite. mmmm. i love it!!

This is the kitchen almost completed. We just have to tile backsplash and put on some base boards and we'll be all done! (this is a better shot of the paint)

Doesn't it look 1000000000000 times better???
