Back to the Backsplash

Remember when I bid our backsplash adieu? I thought it was due time to update you on the latest.

 So, when we left off, we not only had a removed backsplash but also gaping holes in the wall. Why, you ask?

Because when you marry an electrical engineer he takes the simple task of replacing a backsplash into an opportunity into rewire and reconfigure all of the electrical in the kitchen. I'm not complaining. However, what could have been a 45 minute task turned into a weekend project. In the end, I get lots of places to plug in our shiny new appliances.

Here's a view of the kitchen semi-reassembled after the drywall was installed:

And for a point of reference, I can't help but take you back to where we started on the day we made our offer:

Not a bad start, huh? Also on the docket: granite counter tops, a new sink, new dishwasher, and an island! Stay tuned.


  1. Ohhhhh, I love it already. Can't wait to see more. Plugs are key!!

  2. ooo. that was a lot of hunter green. Can't wait to see your new kitchen!
