Change

Who doesn't love change?  I do!  In fact, I am obsessed with it and as soon as I decide one thing, I want to go in a different direction.  Perhaps Bi-Polar or perhaps, I am just a woman and that is what we do.  Anyway, when we purchased our house, part of the buying agreement was that the seller would redo the kitchen and butler pantry for us.  Why?  Because this is what it looked like.

Excuse the realtor and hubby

Not terrible, just SO NOT my taste,  Too dark, not a huge granite fan, no comment on the backsplash and overall, it was definitely something we would want changed.  So imagine our excitement when it all worked out and we knew the kitchen would be done before moving in.  Nothing like planning a kitchen remodel while packing up your house, having a sick family and living the crazy I call life.  BUT, I could not be more happy with the finished product.

Excuse my box of randoms coming from the old house.  I was too lazy to move it.
Baby Girl would not move, no matter how nicely I asked.

So MUCH BETTER!!  The countertops are a grey quartz, the backsplash is marble cararra, the paint is obviously white and I now know that I could never build a house because picking out three items was incredible stressful.  I cannot even imagine what designing an entire house would be like.

  3. These were minor changes to this kitchen. When you wrote that the seller agreed to remodel, I was thinking a total gut job.
