Too Many Options!

The week of Christmas AK got a call from his sister who lives in our condo (soo thankful for her!) saying that the water heater was leaking and that the hallway was wet. We weren't sure of the damage, it was worse than we had hoped but A LOT better than it could have been.

We had to replace the hardwood in the kitchen, water heater, padding in the hallway and poor L&T had to listen to loud fans for 5 days to dry the place out.


bye bye hardwood!

We couldn't match the hardwood exactly with what is in the entryway and with my type A personality I had to have it match, so we went with tile which I'm really excited about. I haven't seen a picture yet, but L tells me it looks really good!

Since this happened, I told AK we should just completely renovate the kitchen! Ha! Little did I know what we were getting ourselves into! We met with a consultant at Home Depot and I could feel both of our blood pressures rising as they were explaining the million things that we could do, the choices, what we had in mind, etc. After a lot of thinking, we have decided to just do backsplash, new dishwasher and change the knobs on the cabinets.

There are soooo many options it's overwhelming!
Home Depot offers like 1600 different knobs, Really??

This is the color of the new tile floor



Backsplash 1



Backsplash 2



Backsplash 3 - I'm really like this one!





I wasn't sure about this color knob on white cabinets, until I saw this kitchen






Or I could stay safe with the stainless.

Here goes nothing! I will keep you updated on the progress!

    I really like your choices for the backsplash! Let me know how that goes. We'll be doing the same at some point (along with flooring and probably countertops). I think you'll be golden with whatever you choose for hardware. Enjoy!

    I think we are going to go with those first or second knobs, especially if we pick backsplash 3. I just got it in the mail and really like it. I like that darker color and our cabinets are not the prettiest things so I'm thinking a nicer knob will help. I will keep you posted!
