Kitchen {Before} & {After}

So, I'm always nervous posting before & afters.

Some probably like the before better than the after & some probably think we are crazy for always doing little projects.

I like posting these for our moms to see and if anyone else enjoys it, that's a plus.

All I can say is I think I'm finally finding a way to decorate that says "us".

Nothing fancy but just a little hint of pretty.

Never fussy.

Always simple.

So...we had red for a while and I love it but wanted the whole house to flow since it is all open..

then this summer my choice of "gray" looked country blue. not a fan.

{After}
To be honest, this gray is so hard to tell in pictures. I like. not sure I love it. I LOVE the dining room so I might paint it that color some day but honestly, I LOVE the beadboard backsplash so unless I'm looking up, I don't see the color and so for now, it's just fine. It's hard to love a kitchen when you move in and it's not your style but not damaged enough to see it worthwhile to completely redo. So, I saw a blog where she did this and instantly fell in love. I really like my kitchen now! It's simple. It's us.

A rug. In the kitchen. warms it right up and feels so home-y. It's an outdoor rug so we'll just spray it down outside when it gets dirty. Love.

My husband is awesome. Super handy. Always willing. Without complaint.

Thanks, babe!!!

I'd like to do a more detailed dining room post sometime because he rocked it with those shelves!!...
