the reveal

Well, the new counter tops are in, and they look AMAZING. It is incredible how much of an improvement they make on our kitchen. First of all, the original counters were not only a cheap imitation granite, but they were installed improperly; meaning the dishwasher couldn’t be shut properly without LIFTING UP ON THE COUNTER!!! AHHHH!! Needless to say, I have wanted new counters for a LONG time.

It is funny though, they seem to highlight how plain and frankly, quite dirty our cabinets are!! Oh well… I LOVE these counter tops, and I am glad that we were finally able to get them (after talking about them for FOUR years!).

First, I give you the gritty truth that was the before, boring counter tops:

Now, I give you the dazzling, amazingly beautiful new counter tops!

See the vast improvement?? I love ‘em! I also love the new sink, faucet, and dishwasher that came along with this remodel. I feel like an HGTV remodel gone incredibly right!!!

    So now that you have a new shiny kitchen, what is going to be the first dinner prepared in it to break it in?

    Hey! The countertops are awesome. I long for the day when we can make that kind of investment! Not to be a debbie downer, but looking at the beautiful shots of your kitchen I couldn’t help but notice the electric cords for the lights. I did not know if you had noticed them. And I still love your new look.

    Countertops look great. They look identical to the ones that I have called butterfly green. The sink and faucet are amazing! Sidenote to Missy, cords can easily be camouflaged by accessories. Looks like D hasn’t added anything back to the counters yet.
