Kitchen Renovation Winter 2011/12

This picture is from Sept (Saffy's Birthday). This illistrates the look of the kitchen. The backsplash tile is actually the same tile as our bathroom. The contractor that built the house saved money by using it (cheap). Audra hated it from the begining.
The cabitnets are so 1989. Alan (Grandpa) came down in Nov/Dec and really set us up from repainting the cabinets and replacing the drywall. When grandpa was here Audra and he took down the cabinets and sanded, primed twice and painted twice and varnished once!! it took 8 days of working. Much appreciated dad! I really dont think this would have happened without you being here and getting it started. You are awesome and Steve is too! Below is our evolution.....

The tile came off with the drywall. Major demo.

We went with a 2x4 off-white tile.

I made over 100 custom tile cuts from the 2x4 tile to make all the corners and around electrical.

After the grout, the tile really becomes prominent and so 2012

The grey/silver paint along with the black cabinets give the kitchen definition and comfort.

Gag gift given to Mommy. It was a box that showed slippers with speakers in them. The worst possible gift to give Mommy if it was real. The box contained good gifts.
