home improvement update phase 1

I say phase one because I caution you all that it is not quite complete yet. Yes, our kitchen has a new countertop, new faucet, new sink, new light, and new dishwasher, but we still haven't done the backsplash. I'll have to post new pictures when we get that done. You probably also haven't see that we painted the side walls the beige color. Looks good with the color of the countertop.


Here is the new light fixture we chose for above the sink. We used to have these two track lights that were not centered in the space, and were so screwed up that they wouldn't even point where you wanted them to. This marine theme light goes well with our location by the water. Sink and faucet are nothing special, but they look much better than the old ones. And the hand sprayer on the right actually works!

I like the color of the walls & the white cabinets. We just put white cabinets in too & have the hard wood floor. What color is your counter-top? It almost looks like the one we are going to put in. Looks great!

Ann, the countertop is a mottled brown color with gray undertones. It is just your basic plastic laminate, but it ended up looking much better than we thought.

and em, you are sweet for your dwell comment--
