Kitchen Dolled Up

 So its been a bit since my sewing machine and I spent much time together.  It turns out having a house quickly eats up the spare time.

My latest project has actually been a kitchen remodel.  We turned my white on white with a backsplash better suited to a gas station bathroom floor into a cute and now functional space.  The plumbing and electrical were corrected.  The cabinet that was a concussion threat was removed.  

Paint, new hardware and a new backsplash took this cold white space to one that enhances the house's charm and feels inviting.   

Given that my skills are better suited to painting and design choices,  the credit for all the hard work goes to JR & Family Home Improvement.
