Kitchen Makeover Continues

With Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Skip here for 6 days to take care of Cassidy, Jeff and I continued on our kitchen transformation project. We painted all day on Sunday, and Monday I finished up the trim.

While we were busy in the kitchen, Grandma and Grandpa had their first outing with Cassidy on Saturday: breakfast at IHOP and Cassidy's first trip to the park to play on the playground. They said she was a little angel and had a blast on the swing, Merry-go-round, and slide. They repeated their outing on Monday, with lunch at Wendy's, a trip to the park, and then to Sam's club for groceries for dinner, while I enjoyed my blissful time at home ... alone... ahhhh (sigh of contentment).

We painted the backsplash so there isn't any rush for part three of the makeover - tiling; though we already have the tiles picked out.

I'm really happy with the way the kitchen turned out. It's the first time we've gone from a bold color to a more neutral one. It's taking a little getting used to, but it definitely has a more calming feeling than the yellow, which is nice. The white trim helps to tie in the white cooktop, hood, and dishwasher. Eventually it might be nice to replace them with stainless steel or black, but since they don't look awful with the way we've decorated, it can definitely wait.

I still have to touch up a few spots on the walls and the bifold doors, so that's on my agenda for this weekend ... when Grandpa Fred and Grandma Josie are visiting!
