The Kitchen

Have you ever stared at a word long enough that it doesn't look right? How about a room? How about our kitchen? When Chris and I bought this house in 2006 we paid a pretty penny thanks to soaring housing prices. Now that the economy is in the tank, we thought we'd support our local stores and spend some crazy money on a kitchen remodel.

One week later...our kitchen is DONE! It took a lot of sweat (mainly Chris') a lot of tears (mainly mine) and a lot of blood...because I may have beat Chris up in the process.

We laid our tile out in a nice random non-existent pattern as seen below.









Then Chris got out his guns. And by guns I mean super muscular arms, because holy cow grouting is tough!



And then we did some drinking.









Below is a shot of the paint job before. Chris worked really hard on making it this nice washed effect. He was so mad that I wanted to change the color that he made me paint the entire kitchen myself. I'm still a little bitter.





Here's our great friend Danny. Danny is now famous because he's mentioned in my blog, and I don't know if you know this, but I'm kind of a big deal.

(Thanks, Sara Kilgore for letting me steal this line from you...and the movie it comes from!)

Thanks for the help, biotch! We couldn't have laid floors without you and your giant hammer.
