The Kitchen's Moving Along


There were some good things to say about this kitchen.
The cabinetry was newer, although basic.
Plumbing and electrical updated.
That's it.
Add some sweat equity and this is where we are right now.


This kitchen is so not square.
It took so long to figure out how I wanted to lay the tile.
Then I jumped in with both feet!







Before and Now





Tomorrow-grout!
Here it is grouted.

  2. You've done a beautiful tile job, the lines are great. A big job! Your cabinets look brand new and the back wall tiles look wonderful too.

  7. It looks so gorgeous!!! I want to try my hand at laying pine plank floors upstairs and a tile backsplash, but I am so intimidated.

  8. Glad I stopped by! It's been a while--I'm so glad you are sharing the DURING photos of your renovations--so many think these things are instant! Plus, I'm glad to see that others live through the same things.....Everything looks great!

  10. I love all the tile you have used in the kitchen & bath at the cottage. I live in Florida, do you think I could find the bathroom floor tile you used? I love the vintage look. You have made so much
    progress and it looks awesome.
    Great work! When you are finished will you reveal your sources, please? Thanks!
