Home Tour- Kitchen, Family Room & Half Bathroom

Here's the next part of our home tour:

Kitchen

Here's our kitchen when we moved in:

We've made some big changes:

-Had new hardwood flooring installed

-Painted the walls

-Got a new refrigerator

-Installed a new dishwasher (That was a project I wish we had paid someone to do.)

-Added a new stained window sill

-Added a new tile backsplash

-Replaced the hideous light fixture (We found out that there were only 2 screws holding up that gigantic, heavy box.  Yikes!)

-Replaced the light fixture over the sink

Here's our kitchen today:

Family Room

The family room needed some love.  Here it is before we got our hands on it:

What we did:

-Took down the vertical blinds and replaced them with faux wood blinds

-Replaced the ceiling fan

-Replaced the carpet

-Painted the walls

-Added a rather large fish tank (Yes, I know I'm a nice wife.:))

Here's the family room today:

The fish were getting jealous of all the attention Jazzy has been getting on the blog.  I promised them I would put their pictures on the blog, too.

We're pretty happy with how the family room has turned out.  We would like to eventually replace the doors with sliding glass doors.  We're also throwing around the idea of switching the position of the fish tank with the love seat, but that will be a huge job.  Maybe one of these days.  

Half Bathroom

Here's our half bathroom today (I failed to take a picture of it when we first moved in.):

This little guy has received just a few minor changes:

-New paint on the wall (It's the same paint color as the kitchen and family room.)

-New rug (Normally I'm not a big fan or rugs in bathrooms, but the tile sits right on the concrete slab and it is FREEZING even in the summertime.)

We'd still like to do a full update of this small space.  We've talked about switching out the sink surround for a pedestal sink.  We'd also love to do some sort of tile feature wall behind the sink.  

Stay tuned for more of the home tour!
