Our kitchen is finally finished!

We just added the finishing touches to our kitchen...finally! The final additions were window treatments, adding the above-the-range microwave, and crown molding to the cabinets! Here are some pictures (sorry for the poor quality, but I am definitely not a photographer):

I absolutely love how our kitchen turned out! We have done so much - we have painted, put in new granite countertops, replaces the hardware on the cabinets, installed hardwood floors, bought all new appliances, tiled a new backsplash, and the other items mentioned above. I really love cooking in here now - having an updated kitchen to cook in makes such a difference! Please tell me what you think!

Kitchen Update!

I have finally taken some pictures of our updated kitchen to share. So far, we have painted the walls a greige, added new granite countertops, and added a white subway tile backsplash.

Keep in mind that we still have to put hardwoods down in the kitchen, get all new appliances, and of course, add some decorative details (please ignore my horrible photography skills, as well).

So, what do you think? It's far from done, but we are making progress!

Dreaming of a White Kitchen

I could spend hours looking at pictures of these beautiful white kitchens. Unfortunately, Michael and I are still looking for that perfect house (for us) to buy, so my dream of having a beautiful white kitchen will have to wait for a while. In the meantime, here are a few of my favorites that I have saved just in case :)

LOVE LOVE this one. I love the bead board, the contrast of the island, and the huge hood:

Love the subway tile here. So classic and fresh. I also love all the hardware:
This is just beautiful. These marble counter tops, the arched hood, the windows...LOVE:

This one is just so big. Love the huge island...love the simplicity of the cabinetry...love the beautiful, dark hardwoods:

I could move right into to any of these houses...
