Oh, and I did take a pic with the cabinet, backsplash and countertop color, along with the floor. I cropped it way down to cut out the current backsplash so it isn't as distracting. LOL, I previewed it, and apparently you have to lie on your side to look at it.

i love stainless and plan to have it set in to the countertop along with brushed nickel fixtures.

I originally wanted the delta touch faucet (the "so many things your hands can do" commercial from the Sesame St. Count), but read bad reviews about it).

Used the recipe for baking soda/vinegar drain cleaner bomb from Un-Eff site last night. my shower drain is running fast and clean this morning!

Lexie, I really like that color combination. After seeing the grayish green next to the backsplash along with your current countertop, the darker one does go better. It draws your eye right to the backsplash. The lighter color that you have there now, does nothing for me.

White sink will look terrific !!!


I think this project is going to be such a great transformation !!!!!!! I can't wait.

Wow just seeing this thread, looks really good! How about some granite countertops THEN the new backsplash?

LexieCat

Granite is out, for a number of reasons. I actually like this laminate, and have a carpenter friend who can make the countertop inexpensively.

I LOVE it!

I thought of this thread when I was uneffing my silverware drawer last night with all my new drawer organizers that I bought for it..... ewwwww, what a thankless chore!

LexieCat

Man, I am absolutely beat. I spent all of yesterday getting ready for the carpet installation. Thank goodness I got as much done with the organizer as I did or I could not have managed it. As it was I got about three and a half hours of sleep, since I had to disconnect all the electronics and set up the modem and router so I can work today (in my TILED dining room). I have a TON of books, and they all had to go into boxes, along with all the other STUFF that winds up on things that will have to be moved. It will take me a while to put everything back together when they are done, too. Lots of stuff can wait until this weekend to do (putting books back on shelves, etc.). It was almost as much work as trying to move, only I didn't have to pack things as carefully, and didn't have to empty closets, drawers, and cabinets other than one china cabinet.
