Well, I guess that enough hinting can sometimes get you a great birthday present: like, new counter tops! Yes, they are much prettier than the ugly "land of Oz" fake marble-emerald green ones we used to have.
Blaine and his brothers made a valiant effort to put them in themselves... and... then our amazing neighbor installed them for us. However, Blaine and I did the tile back splash ourselves, I (yes, by myself!) installed the knobs and handles and well, I couldn't be happier with the end result.
I'm so happy-- that I may not get the itch to paint the cabinets for another three months or so.

Looks great! I cannot wait to see photos after you do the cabinets. If you need a painting partner give me a call. I LOOOOOOVE painting.
Those are amazing! I can't wait for new countertops too. They make such a difference in the world and make you actually happy to go into the kitchen. How fun. And what a great job you did. You're gonna have to pass some tips over this way when I'm ready to do mine. I'm a little scared, I'll be honest. Yours look so awesome. What a great present.
It looks SO good!!
Im all about taking on my own projects!! Besides, you can save SOOOOO much money doing some of it yourselves!!
Yay! It looks awesome. And I bet you love it even more since you worked on it yourself. Happy to you!
Your kitchen looks so good. I love the tile! It's such a great detail (something I would never think of, honestly) you are a decorating guru. Just like Doris Day in Pillow Talk.
Yippee! Hooray!
They look soooo incredible!!!
Amazing!!! You have totally transformed that kitchen! I love it! (I need to figure out the caulking thing!)
Props to you! I am so impressed. I have been dying to try and put a back splash in our kitchen as well, but have yet to brave it. Now that you and Lizzy have both proved it can be done - I think I may just have to give it a go! Love the new look.
The countertops look fantastic and the backsplash is the perfect professional touch. It really looks awesome. And, I don't think you need to paint your cabinets... Your kitchen looks REALLY good!
Very Very talented, I must say. Congrats! Hope all is going well!
It looks so good! I love home projects!
Hi, I am an old friend of the Carters and I was "blog stalking" and found your blog on Jessie's. I hope you don't mind. But I saw the Carters not too long ago at a wedding and they said you guys had a baby and I must say he is too cute!!! Anyhow tell Blaine hello for me!!
Wow Great job... I am very impressed. Love the tile, Love the countertops, Love everything!!!
Wow, sister! You're super crafty! Next time I need help with a house project, I know who to call :) PS I'll be up north next weekend with Erika Scarpino and Syd McCarthur. Let's do lunch or something! Mini Remendez Reunion...?
