Day 49: Making a Splash

a BACK splash!
actually before showing you that... check out this pre back splash granite:


So there's been a lot of little jobs, finish work, trim painting, and lately tiling going on. Not a lot to photograph on a daily basis. And even now, not super impressive with kitchen mostly still in construction garb.

But, here are some shots around the kitchen, squint and focus on that beautiful tile!

Days 30-37: The Kitchen Begins to Form

So the color is going to look a little bland because the walls are still 90% primed or spackled but this is Ben Moore's LANCASTER WHITE. I liked it because it was neutral but warm. I want to eventually do a glaze but in case that's on my honey never do list, I wanted to be happy with the color as is as well.

Also, yes, I know, it all looks the same and really unless you have been in the house, hard to tell what's what... but I tried to include some establishing shots, but yeah here are some pics of the kitchen and the changes happening there!

This is the wall you are looking at if you walk in the back door:



Turning to your left...


This is the wall that is between the kitchen and dining room (back door to your left and living room to your right.):



This is the wall between the kitchen and outside (aka opposite the one you just looked at):

Here is the wide view if you were standing by the side door entrance to the kitchen (or standing near where those first cabinets are that you saw) looking at the back door:


Turning a bit to the right...


Now the side door entrance has always been a little cramped. No matter what we do we will have a little more room but the big question was... forgo counter to open door all the way?


Or forgo wide door opening to have counter?


We opted for counter. Seemed unnatural to not have enough counter to the right of the sink for stacking dirty dishes.



On a side note, will I never be through with this wallpaper?
