Kitchen Before

Much like the bathroom we're tearing apart there is nothing really wrong with the kitchen. But there's not much we love about it either. The biggest problem we both agreed on is that the counter top needs to be replaced. It looks okay (to me), but there are a lot of dark colors in there (none would be our first choice, and we're probably going to change the floor out as well). In the winter, when there isn't as much natural light, it was pretty cave like.

So there will be new counters and sink. We picked the counter top out months ago -- a decision i've been second guessing since, as we've been taking our little sample around searching for backsplash materials. I hope it ends up looking okay. We sure spent a lot on it. Worried.

The other thing we really didn't like was the inset around the cooktop. Wasted counter space, and it's even darker than the rest of the kitchen. Plus we're really not fans of the corbels -- too old fashioned looking for our sensibilities. So all of that is going.
