Happy day, Friends! I hope you all had a great week. It flew by for me!  I'm back this week with a post about a little country vintage sale we went to yesterday.  It was small, but we had so much fun! Wonderful vendors, a pretty setting and some great deals!  It's just down the road from our family farm where my brother lives, so we stopped by there on the way home for a visit.

The Big Kitchen Reveal!

Happy day, my friends! It's time for the kitchen reveal - yaaaayyyy!! If you've been on this journey with me, you know it's been a while. Of course, most renovations take at least twice as long as you expect them to and this one was no different. However, the wait was worth it. We LOVE how it's turned out. It is so much brighter and airier now. It really feels like a completely different kitchen, even though the footprint didn't change at all.  When I look at the before pictures now, I can' hardly remember it being like this. In case you are new to the blog or would like a refresher, here is a photo of how it looked before we started.

Not a bad kitchen, by any stretch of the imagination, just a very dark one that really  wasn't my style at all. So grab your cup of coffee or tea (or margarita if you're so inclined) and enjoy the picture show! As I go through the post, I will put in information on vendors, contractors, paint color, etc. I have not been paid in any way, so no bias here! 

We opted to tile the wall from floor to ceiling. LOVE it! The tile is a honed marble subway tile. I found a great deal through The Builder Depot. I did a lot of research. I mean, to the point that I was annoying the heck out of hubs, ha! He pretty much told me to do what I thought was best (uh, ok, right on,  if you insist, haha)!  They had the best looking product for the best price, even including shipping from Georgia to Oregon. It was a little scary ordering without seeing it, but they do have free samples, so that's a good route to go before placing the big order.
