Kitchen remodel : Back Story-Before

When JMN & I bought this house in March 2012. This was the first house either of us had ever purchased. And once we made our minds up that we were going to buy a house we were in full speed. JMN Best friend is a Realtor and JMN are pretty aggressive folks. After about 2 months we were in OUR house. Now that's from casual conversation, Realtor, and poof signing the dotted line.  We knew there would be some things we would have to fix up.
I didn't imagine that the kitchen would even be on the list. I don't cook. I love to eat but I am challenged in the kitchen so I didn't really care how it looked. But over the last year I realized that I was really having a feeling about it.
I hate the wallpaper! ( okay I always hated the wallpaper) I remember some of my friends parents had the same variation of wallpaper in their kitchens . If you will look in the 4th picture you will see that they even picked a fruit dangling lamp as well. The pears look like penises. ( you know you were thinking it too).

One of my favorite blogger's, Skinny Meg, redid her kitchen (2014) last year and when I saw how  wonderful my kitchen could be I was like yeah!! lets do this.

 

 

Now lets me real. Remodeling anything is costly and I work for a non profit. And I still have to pay my car note. So things will happen slowly. A remodel is a want not a  need so therefore when there is some extra moola then I will push it towards our little project.

I really liked the fact that Megs cabinets are gray. Gray is my 3rd favorite color. I also lOVVVVVE the shelving. Our floors are white tile so our counters will probably be white as well.

I cant wait for you guys to come on my remodel journey with us!
