Honey, I'm in the kitchen!

As some of you may know, we have had quite the transformation at our little North End abode.

{For a refresher, click HERE}

There has to the despise of my husband,

been even more transformation!

{Chris may kill me if I get anymore wild hairs about "decorating" that actually involves him doing even more manual labor}

We all know that during the process of the "labor,"

IT SUCKS.

But the end result is AMAZING!

Here's the transformation of our kitchen from beginning to end!

We started with this...

{Don't judge}

Eggshell walls,

pink counters,

flooring that had seen better days

{better days as in 20 years ago}

And a kitchen sink that was stained more than our hardwood floors.

 I saw the potential our sorry excuse for a kitchen had.

With a lot of paint, we turned it into this...

{not too shabby}

We painted the entire thing,

{please shoot me if I ever get the urge to paint the inside of an entire house again}

We changed out light fixtures, appliances, and cupboard hardware.

But we still had the awful pink counter tops,

And old flooring that never seemed to look clean.

{You can't clean old}

Something still wasn't right.

I got the urge to change something again

so I changed the light fixture.

I even went to Home Depot all by myself,

picked out the connector-thingy's and spray paint!

(not to mention, the guy that was helping me asked if anyone ever thought I looked like the Fox 12 Fitness trainer...uhhhh, yeah buddy, that's me. Thanks for your help).

A little spray paint here,

A little twisting of the connector thingy's there,

and viola!

{Yes, Chris installed it}

A new kitchen light!

Then my amazing husband and father-in-law

went along with another one of my crazy ideas

and installed a new floor for me!

Glorious!

But did I stop there?

Did U of I beat Boise State?

HECK NO!

{insert attitude and side-to-side head shake}

As much as it pained me sarcasm to get rid of the

pink counters, I just threw up a little bit,

they got kicked off the island;

they got fired;

they did not pass go;

they did not collect $200;

They HAD to go!

My husband and father-in-law were such good sports

and installed new counter tops and a new sink!!!

They are the owner's of Lighthouse Homes and Remodeling.

They are amazing.

Shameful plug, I know =)

{what a hot tile-installer}

Taaa-daaaa!!!!!!!

Here it is!

My amazing,

totally transformed,

makes me want to cook,

kitchen!

And because it's fun, let's compare side-by-side photos:
