Kitchen Re Do

Hello Everyone. I was trying to wait for a day of sunshine to show off my new counters but not sure when we will see another day with sunshine. So please know these counters looks so much better than in pictures. Ugh for gloomy winter days.

 With the counter tops being granite I really did not want to take them out.

  I did a little research and found a paint process that you can do to make color changes to your granite.

You can see above how they came out.  Bright and pretty.

The problem was this did not hold up. 
We did them in September and they started to peel and chip everywhere.

 This was the color of my granite counter tops when we bought this house last summer. 
Just was not my style or colors.

With this kitchen being small we decided to go back to butcher block for the counter tops.

We have had butcher block in the past houses and loved it.

We were able to find a 12 foot piece in stock at Lumber Liquidators so we would not have any seams.

I liked that the counters match up to the floor.

I think the butcher block with white cabinets is always a bright and pretty look.

I was able to get a new Kohler cast iron sink to replace the other cracked one.  I am working on something cool for the window over the sink and hope to have that done soon.

We also put a piece of butcher block over at the coffee station.

Terry bought me this vintage cedar chest for Christmas. 

It has landed in this space in my kitchen for now.

 I have a little more storage.

I still have my old french window hanger. 

We added the chippy porch post and old post mail box to the wall.

I love my new counter tops.  Low maintenance and they give a better vibe to my kitchen. Gosh just wish I could really capture how pretty they are in this kitchen.

Have a great new week.
