Change is gonna come...

We bought our home back in 1990, largely because of the location and land that came with it. A bachelor was selling it, and it needed a LOT of love, but was priced right. It had really good "bones" - hardwood floors throughout, three nice sized bedrooms and lots of potential. We knew our first projects were going to be remodeling the only bathroom and the kitchen. The bathroom HAD to be addressed immediately, so that was where we chose to spend the majority of our budget at the time.

As money allowed, we made little changes here and there. We eventually decided it was time to make a big change and basically gutted the house to add a Master bathroom and a Family room, make the existing garage the entry and an additional bathroom/utility room and dining room. The kitchen finally got it's makeover when we did this remodel. We chose very up to date appliances, tile and countertops at the time, and they have served us well.

Lately, we have been watching way too much HGTV and dreaming about making some changes again. The 90's called and they want their kitchen back!! I want to give it to them! Here is a view of our kitchen from the Dining Room. It's nice, but could be better...



The view from the Living Room. Still love my bay window...


So we've made a few trips to the Home Improvement stores and have started making a list of things we would like to do. Here is the Sensa Granite I am looking at. Blue Pearl - beautiful. Still making some tile decisions about the backsplash. We'll see...

These should be delivered this week, hopefully! A nice start to our Kitchen Makeover! I have wanted Stainless Appliances for what seems like FOREVER. I like the clean, timeless, classiness of them. Here is the Fridge I picked out. Samsung, French Door - Gorgeous!

Samsung Above the Range Microwave/Convection Oven. LOVE IT.

Samsung Range. The oven is a convection oven, with a warming drawer. Self Cleaning with STEAM. All I have to do is wipe it out!!

Electrolux Dishwasher. If I made the money Kelly Ripa does, I would have had the very cool range that came complete with a food thermometer/probe built in and the racks were on door glides like your dishwasher has. For the difference in price I could afford this dishwasher. Installed.

Progress Pictures coming soon!
