Living Room and Kitchen - where we're at today

Not everything is finished. It's hard for me to photograph rooms and post them when EVER.Y.THING. isn't done...but oh, well! I'm learning that that's life, and it's important sometimes just to share where we're at today.

So, here's what our living room and kitchen look like TODAY.

Kitchen First...

What we did:

- used "smart tiles" to change the backsplash from country wheat to modern grey...super easy and fast stick-ons!

- painted the top of the kitchen black (it was a country blue...and the previous owners actually had it looking super cute, but country just isn't my thing)

- upgraded the faucet

- added drawers inside some of the cabinets instead of just shelves

What we still want to do:

- get a black fabric with jewels chandelier for over the island (you know the one I have in my head, right?!)

- maybe a few black bar stools

- custom built in mirror with frame over mantel

What we still want to do:

- DECORATE that HUGE mantel! I'm thinking topiaries...I love topiaries :)

- better curtains?!

- art above the couch!!! or a clock?!
