Design on more than a Dime

Our kitchen is clearly protesting us! In one week our dishwasher and fridge went out.

Now, I must say, I was as happy about this as Brendan was when the tv went out! I have been wanting to update these two things for quite a while. We flipped our kitchen before, but thought it was wasteful to get rid of perfectly working appliances. So up until now, those have been here since I moved in.

So, we put in a new dishwasher and are still awaiting the arrival of our new fridge.

All this change and excitement gave me the itch to change one more thing, the backsplash.

I thought Brendan was going to kill me since the paint incidence had become such a nightmare, but with a little persuasion, I had him willing to help.

It has been the easiest project to date and I am thrilled with the results.

Before...


After...

(I only took pics from one angle because I want to wait for the new fridge to show the other.)

This made the project so much more enjoyable :)



Old houses are such a labor of love, but I just love them!!! Most people find it odd that my husband builds big, gorgeous new homes... and we live in a 60 year old home. I just find small, cozy cottages so warming.

There is something special about this home that I just can't explain!
