We've slowly but surely been working on updating the kitchen. We've been in our house for 17 years and it's time. Last year we did the counter tops after the original builder basics were so worn that I couldn't even keep them clean and the formica was beginning to pull away.
Last week my new dishwasher was delivered. Woo Hoo!!! Stainless steel. I had to stand there and make sure it was running during the inaugural wash. It was so quiet. Ours got to the point that we had to turn it on just before the last person went to bed, because it was so loud. The day after Thanksgiving the new DOUBLE oven was delivered. Can I get a halleluiah??!!!, and with the glass cook top, no more burner bibs and crusties to clean up. I have to say, though we were very fortunate. Both the dishwasher and the oven were the originals, so we got plenty of use out of them. But, now my kitchen is looking like a 21st century kitchen. I love it! The big project was the back splash tile. I had tiled the walls of the
kitchen last year with a mosaic tile, leaving the original green back
splash in tact. But, I really wanted it to go. It was out dated; I
don't even remember when exactly I put up the green backsplash. This
was going to be a biggie though; removing the tile and replacing it.
