THe Joys of home improvement

So, you see this kitchen? nice - huh? Well... it didnt start out that way.... let me take you on a journey..













It all started when Chris and I bought the house. I moved out of my old apartment. Durring the move, however, Chris suffered an injury to his forehead....
YOu see, a big post (aluminum fence post) hit Chris on the head - which lead to 13 stiches. 2 tubes of neosporin and mederma later, the gash is healing quite nicely.











Eitherway, My cousin Brian got to work in the kitchen almost within 2 weeks of us purchasing the home. He tore up the floor, put in ceramic tile, tore out the formica and put in granite and a tile backsplash.

Much nicer! I cannot tello you all how excited I am to have a peice of the puzzle come together. Now we just have to refinish the floors, put in carpet, get a new front door and paint. Keep your fingers crossed.... I would like to have this all done by the time I move in after the Honeymoon.... I simply cannot wait to have you all over!
