About six years ago I decided I hated our bathroom faucet.
That started a bit of a snowball effect and we ended up ripping out our carpet and putting in wood laminate floors, crown moulding, casing in the windows and closets.
We painted the place full of colour.
We put a sound system in the bedroom, bought a cool new platform storage bed and a gorgeous computer cabinet to replace the desk.
We bought a new washer/dryer and reclaimed storage space in the laundry closet.
This weekend we were shocked when a friend of ours (who is a General Contractor) said he could do our kitchen. Brian has never had the time to do anything for us and usually just tells us how to do it and sends us on our way to do it ourselves (like the flooring and the crown moulding). But suddenly he’s offered to do our kitchen! And we are jumping on it!
So over the weekend we chose a new fridge and stove and range hood, picked out a sink and new faucet and chose a hardwired filtered hot & cool water on demand system for under the sink. That will free up space on the counter (and get rid of our thermal pot) and in the fridge (bye bye Brita). We picked out granite counter tops. I’m off today to take a look at a place he recommended for backsplash tiles and potentially to find some flooring.
We are going to be without a kitchen for two weeks…but I am very excited.
And six years later…I still hate my bathroom faucet!

Oh I am sooo jealous!! I would love new floors, a granite countertop and a new backsplash. It’s just not int he budget tho. I will ahve to make due with me new appliances. Please post photos of the project…before, during and after!
Well, we decided to forgo the floors, and the granite counters cost a lot less than I thought they would. And the backsplash is just really a short edge, I don’t like the full height that most kitchens do, I’d rather have a colourful paint come down low.
But I’ll take photos for sure!
