If you’ve been following along with our kitchen renovations, this is Step 5! (Step 1 was new curtains. Step 2 was painting. Step 3 was staining the window. Step 4 was refacing the cabinets.)
We had the tile backsplash installed this week!!!
(waaaaay) Before
(For more before pictures, check out the refacing the cabinets post.)
After (a little fuzzy - sorry)
A little less fuzzy...

Other Wall
As you can see, it’s still a little dusty – I have to wait until tomorrow to wipe it all down because the grout is still drying. I couldn’t wait to post pictures though 🙂
The guy who did the refacing said this is the BIGGEST turn-around he’s seen in a kitchen – ever. And he’s been at it for a while. tee hee 🙂

We had our cabinets refaced this week!!! We also have a gorgeous counter top and custom cabinets around the fridge and the stove now.

There are still some things to do (little things like touch-ups here and there, big things like painting the wall between the counter and the cabinets and putting tile up). The faucet is being installed as I type.

Mike worked SO hard on this. (I helped a little bit, but he really did the lion’s share.) We used a product called Stripeeze to get all the white paint off…which really worked well – except in all the nooks and crannies of the window sill itself. That took a lot of elbow grease in addition to the Stripeeze.

Step 2 in the kitchen renovations. (Step 1 was new curtains.) I don’t know how many steps there will actually be…but there’s definitely at least one more (HUGE!) one. *grin*

It’s amazing what a new set of curtains can do for a room.
I forgot to take a “before” picture before putting the new ones up, so I found this photo from a previous post…not a great one, but you get the idea.

These are the new curtains…a first step in our kitchen makeover – stay tuned for more!

And YES. The chickens will be leaving us when the renovations are complete 😉
