Progress in the Kitchen

All sorts of wonderful progress in the kitchen today. Tomorrow is tile behind/above the range and lots and lots of grout. Can’t wait to see it up.

I can really see the kitchen coming together. We’re definitely going to rely a lot on rug/accents/flowers to warm the space up. We’re currently very commercial, slightly industrial right now. However I threw down a sisal accent rug and it made the biggest difference. I’m looking forward to purchasing a bushel of Dusty Miller or a few hydrangeas.

We actually used the SimpleMat I talked about last month. It was an experience. I’d say that bashing out the existing tile and putting up new drywall would have probably been easier, unfortunately. The SimpleMat was cool because it went down fairly easy and saved us another dusty mess. However, once the tile was put down it was nearly impossible to move. So place your tiles wisely. And at $25 for 10 square feet, it was slightly pricey.

I love tile and I love white. I love white tile. I hope all those potential home buyers out there love it too.
