As we both know, life is definitely NOT boring right now. In fact, it is probably the least boring that its ever been -- the continual house projects, visits from family, trips out of town, heavy workloads. And with busy-ness comes less time for blogging and less time for putting much thought into my blogs. Sure we have a lot of pictures of our house updates but the photos have not been downloaded. I've been doing a lot of cooking but have not kept track of the recipe links and have definitely not taken any pictures. I sometimes think our week-end updates get a tad boring so I have been doing less of those types of posts. So that doesn't really leave me with much to say these days.
However, in an effort to not become "boring" I'm going to try to give this little space of mine a new boost! Back when I created my organization notebook, I made a place for my blog list so I could jot down blog ideas as I thought of them. Clearly, I have not been keeping up with that so I plan to pull that out this week and start my list all over. In the mean time, here are a few glimpses into what we've been doing in our kitchen.
We are trying to pick out tile for our backsplash along with laminate for our countertops. We (mainly me) have been going back and forth with countertop and tile ideas and yesterday, I think I finally found the perfect tile! Sure it isn't as cheap as the $.28 cent subway tile at Lowe's, but I think it really pulls together everything we're envisioning. Here is a glimpse at what we've chosen:
Cabinet Paint -- yes, it is gray!
Countertops
And finally, the tile!
The tile has pretty warm tones running through it so I think it will tie in the cabinet color nicely and still provide the look of the subway tile that we like. I haven't officially chosen the tile though. I'm going to show the swatches and samples to my interior decorator friend tonight to get her thoughts. But, as of now we are set to transform the kitchen in a couple of weeks. Wish us luck!
