Upgrades

Hubby and I made a huge purchase on Tuesday that I could not be more excited about. We have officially started the upgrades to our little home. We are replacing our kitchen counter tops with solid granite (right now they are tiles) as well as our bathroom.

Voila, the inspiration for our kitchen ...
We have about one-third of that space ... our kitchen is small and with not much light (a detail that is difficult to change due to our condo's layout). But I love the dark counter top with the white cabinetry. We have existing cabinetry that we are going to stick with for now and add knobs to make it look more custom. We will stick to these classic stainless steel knobs you see here. Our floor is travertine, not as cool as this black and white - but still, it will be a huge improvement.
Tonight we are getting one last quote on extending our wood flooring into the Master and Guest bedroom before we make our decision. Nothing says "We're married" like a date night that includes getting a flooring estimate ...

I will keep updates of our progress - next step is to inspect our granite at the granite yard - woo hoo!!
