So....i did it! And i didn't tell anyone other than scott that i was doing it. i ordered granite and a new backsplash. I wanted the granite and Scott and i have not had to do too much over the past 7 years to add value to the house so we thought "why not!" We will be moving to a bigger house next spring or summer so i thought i better enjoy the countertops for a little while. Most people who know me, know that i have a hard time spending money. I don't like to let go of it! Last tuesday, i picked out the granite and told the lady at the store to just pick a tile that would go well with the granite. Can you believe i turned over control. i figured that if i thought too much about the tile/backsplash, etc, that i would never go thru with it. so this past tuesday, they installed. i was so excited! i love the granite! i love the backsplash...tumbled travertine. i love my under mount sink! just don't know that i like the two together. the colors just don't seem to match. in natural light, it seems to look better. everyone says i am being too picky. Maybe it's God's way of not wanting me to fall in love with it b/c then i won't want to move. and let's face it, it's my own fault...i told the lady to just pick a tile for me. but it was a good experience. kitchen was only out of commission for one day...so i know it's easy to do for our next house :) i have my ideas of how to make the kitchen look better. thinking of going for a darker brown on teh walls, new window treatment, and we still have to seal the the tile and grout in 7 days. i know it will all work out. and it will help our house stand out when it is placed on the market! here are the before and after pics :)
