Kitchen update

I thought it was time for some updated pictures. Most of the cabinets are in....2 to go. Our countertop will be in on Friday, probably installed on Monday. I also splurged today and bought myself an orchid for my new kitchen. I am soo excited.

Old & In-Between Kitchen

Here are some old and in-between pictures of our kitchen.............................

Kitchen update

Well, the drywall is all up and primed for paint. Our ceiling has been popcorned. It looks really nice. Today we visited Lowe's twice to pick up samples of paint colors. First we started with two different shades of yellow. Jim was not a fan. So off to Lowe's we go again. We brought a sample of oak (the color of our cabinets) and a sample piece of floor tile. We proceeded to the countertop dept to look at colors there. Then, back to paint samples. Very confusing :( Finally, we found some help. We had gone to the paint desk to have samples made. The salesman, Tom, could tell that we weren't agreeing on what we wanted. He offered his opinion. While he & I were checking paint colors, Jim went to get some countertop samples to compare. I think we were finally getting somewhere. We were starting to put things together and thinking together! What a concept! Tom had some great ideas and helped us to see the whole picture. We chose samples of a light blue and an deeper blue/green shade. And I think we're going to go for a darkish shade of gray speckled granite for countertops. Amen, I think we're on to something............we'll see how our sample colors looks in the morning light. O boy............
