What Happens When you Blog Stalk.

Once upon a time my kitchen looked like this. Okay, but dated. I began to feel like I was drowning in Honey Oak from the floors to the cabinets. Then I began stalking Layla at The Lettered Cottage and this is what happened.... A little scrubbing, a little sanding, priming, painting... some new fabulous hardware and a gorgeous new faucet (installed by my hubby)...and my favorite....the faux tin tile back splash glazed by yours truly...and I am in love.I decided to take it one step further and added some frosted glass in my corner cabinets...just to break things up a bit. What do you think? To be fair, I must thank this lady. I happen to be related to the wallpaper queen. A remodel is much more fun when you enlist the help of your mother. Yes people, that is paintable faux tin tile wallpaper.

Okay...and a few more thanks...
1. To my children who were angels and who never once tried to utilize or ingest the exposed cleaners under the sink or go Picasso on me throughout the house.

2. My supportive husband, who although not the tidy-est of men, prefers not to live in a demolition state of being and did it anyway...while smiling and offering all sorts of help in his spare time.
2. To my fabulous seamstress sister Jolea...the mastermind behind the valance and the wretched installation thereof.

3. To our neighbor and friend Abe, who cut out the inserts of my cabinet doors so I could take my remodel to another whole notha' level. Bless you. Well, that's a wrap...for now. I will be replacing the rooster decor and the Blessings sign but I haven't found something I love yet. You know me...Miss Can't Leave Well Enough Alone.
