Dream Kitchen

Jason and I have been planning to use some of our tax return money to update our kitchen. It's so old and tired looking and is so in need of some love. But lots of love need lots of money when it comes to my kitchen. To fully update it, we would need new cabinets, countertops, sink, hardware, back splash, flooring and stainless appliances. That "aint" gonna happen. The compromise is to get new countertops and a back splash and I'm planning to repaint the cabinets (again).


I was originally eyeing a glass or tile backsplash like this but in tans and creams.

Then I saw Joan's farmhouse kitchen in New Hampshire. It's a beauty. Check out Joan's blog called "For the love of a house." Her website is fortheloveofahouse.blogspot.com. I'd enclose a link for you, but right now the link system is updating and is not available. Sorry, I'll add it later.

She used beadboard. I fell in love with it! I'm a sucker for beadboard though. Think of the cost! Nothing compared to glass backsplash. I even have and use those big glass containers for my coffee beans, flour and sugar. We're now thinking of switching out the wood cabinets doors above them and replace them with glass doors. SWEET! I can't wait. Next project... decide on countertops.
