Before And After – Our Kitchen

21 Mar

I was digging through my photos yesterday, looking for some blogging inspiration, when I came across a before photo of our kitchen!  I was really excited, since I didn’t know whether or not we had taken a before photo.  But we had. Here is a photo of us walking around with our parents and our realtor before house closing. Kitchen Before

You can see the carpeting they had glued down over the original 9×9 tiles that were in the kitchen.  I know I have some pictures of the original tile to0, but that will have to wait until another day.  Also, the walls were kind of a “whole wheat bread” color, which didn’t look great with the marble windowsills. Our New Kitchen Floor

Here it is after the new VCT tile and paint.  I am sure many of you have seen it before, but I just wanted to show it next to the before photo!

Oh, and loyal reader Sara said she was having trouble leaving a comment. Hopefully that is resovled now, but if anyone has any other problems, email me!

    Don’t you love them! I almost died when I saw them the first time. Even with the ratty old carpet, I could totally see my kitchen in there….

    Hey Ruth! I made it over from the old blog, I guess! I have a Google Reader, and this is where it brought me, so I’d say everything is working A-Okay. I love the before-and-after pix of the kitchen. Post more of other rooms if you get a chance.

    Happy to see you here. I am glad everything worked for you, that is a huge relief to me.

    Oh, I totally plan to post other rooms, and cool little MCM things from my house that I love!

    Thanks for the feedback, I love it. :)

    And that island is pretty cool. Love the curving of it.
