Do you like? This is going behind our stove-top as our focal-point along with a handmade oven hood and a pot-filler! We will have small 6 inch tiles as the rest of the back-splash. Plus, it will go beautifully with the granite. (Will be posting pictures very soon!)
We needed something to tie in our big brick columns from the living room to the kitchen because now our home will have an open-living concept. It almost matches our brick exactly except it is concrete and stacked.
Okay, I know the pictures below are horrible. They were taken with my webcam. But, it also shows you the brick columns in my living room. I’ll try to take better pictures later.
My children were singing to someone on Skype when I took these.

This totally Works for Me!
We put down the down payment for our porcelain tile today!
We decided to go with 20”x20”.
This is a little different than what I posted the other day.
We found a guy who gave us such a sweet deal plus – good customer service is always a great sales tip.
My hubs also bought us a professional wet saw. I can hardly wait to learn how to cut tile.
We are still shopping for appliances.
We are looking for a French-Door refrigerator…oh, I can hardly wait for that beauty!

One of the guys we will hire will be here tomorrow to tell us how to deal with the load-bearing wall.
(Load-bearing wall means if we knocked it down, the entire house would fall down.
That is not going to happen on my watch
because I’m going shopping or to the beach or anywhere that won’t remind me of walls coming down.)

We have so much more material shopping to do before we actually start ripping down walls.
We are looking for:
- double convection oven
- stove-top
- kitchen sink (I would like a triple bowl)
- pot filler
- lighting
- chocolate
- paint colors
- I’m sure a lot more that I can’t think of at the moment.
To be continued…
please come back because I’m going to be sharing how to do renovations and NOT to do renovations.

Oh my goodness–we are in the middle of a huge home addition/remodel as well. It’s been quite the process so far, and sadly, we’ve not even begun the real stuff yet (we’re still on the outside!). Love your choices so far! Oh, and you’ll LOVE a French Door Refrigerator! I wouldn’t trade mine for the world! The space in those things is almost never ending.
I love all of your choices! Can’t wait to see how it all turns out. I have three boys (7, 5 and 2), so I can identify with having a lot going on while trying to make the decorating decisions. Great job!
It’s gonna look great 😉
That is going to look incredible! I can’t wait to see more pics.
Okay, you have the chocolate, I will have the kiddos, now make coffee! Invite your sis in law down and the work will be complete! Oh and your brother for the lighting, after all he is the designer of lighting. And, you had better pack chocolate and gano for this Grandma, I might need it!
Love and kisses to all of ya!

Ooooo! I like that backdrop. Very nice.
It sounds like your kitchen is going to be beautiful when you are done. I can’t wait!

Whatever you do… don’t forget the chocolate! And make sure to have lots on hand …. you won’t want to run out! Love you both very much…. especially that incredible brother in law of mine!! 🙂
