My kitchen -- before and after

Over the past two, almost three years, we have been upgrading our home. We started by knocking out walls and creating a bigger living area to accomodate our growing family. We wanted to finish out the kitchen with granite but we had other things come up -- like a wedding, a new furnace, etc. Well, we finally were able to do the granite. This is a close-up picture of what it looks like. It is called Butterfly Blue and has lots of black, blue, green and purple-browns in it. I love it!

We had to replace our range and I mentioned that I wasn't a fan of putting a white range in again because stainless steel would look so much better. But I didn't anticipate that would happen. David happened to agree, so I jumped on it and we found some great on-line deals for our new stainless appliances. Thanks sweetheart for working so hard to make it all possible and for being my very own installation man! I've got a bit more painting to do but that won't happen until we open the paint cans and start the basement. No use making two messes...
