This was the last pic I took of our old kitchen before we had the counters replaced and installed new tile for the walls. I've been cooking in this room for 19 years, and I was not sorry to see the shiny white bathroom tile counters and backsplash that we inherited from the previous owners finally go.
Here's the new kitchen. We started the renovation on December 7th and finished it on January 14th. My guy did all the tile work himself. It was really tough to live without my kitchen for five weeks, but definitely worth it.
I chose the quartz for the counters and the natural stone for the tiles because the colors reminded me of the beach sand where I grew up, and showcase our beautiful wood cabinets. My guy and I have waited a long time for this, and we're very happy with the results. I've uploaded a few more photos to an album here if you want to see the process from start to finish.
I'm unplugging for a week to spend time with my favorite molecular biologist, who is visiting this week, so there won't be any new posts until 1/26. See you later.
