What Would You Do...

So this is my kitchen... and that bead board above the cabinets just isn't doing it for me. I am not however doing any kind of demo.  I want to put something up there, but what? I am fresh out of ideas. Things I have thought of: open frames (color or none), my urban letters spelling out something appetizing. Plates seems so country or should I just leave it? AAAHHH, I am at the end of my creative juices, help!   

BTW, the colors I am going for are black, white, and light blue. You know I appreciate you all!

Kitchen Remodel...

Well for the most part the kitchen is finished. So without any more delay here is the somewhat finished product. Just in case you for got here is the

BEFORE~

AFTER~

I covered the open storage shelves with these curtains. It is seems so much less cluttered.

Here is a list of what we did: Painted all of the cabinetry, moved the duct work over head, painted the walls, ripped out the rotted floor and installed a new floor and tile, put in a new stainless steel dishwasher, countertops, backsplash, sink and faucet (although I am going to upgrade our faucet later, the one I have is what you get when your husband and the carpenter go to pick up fixtures).

Left to install: window, light fixtures and a new back door.

Kitchen Before...

I thought I might add to the anticipation a bit by posting our kitchen before pictures. I am still waiting on my curtains, but did get the back splash finished. I love the way it turned out. I also found a pendant light I am going to hang over the sink area. So here is the kitch before!

4th of July "Honey I'm Going To Do"

Today my in-laws stopped by and picked up my oldest son right before nap time. So that means while the twins nap I can start on my backsplash. I only really had time to do behind the stove area. So here is a bit of a peek of our new backsplash that is going in, and some of our color scheme. It will take me a few more weeks of nap time and bed time working on it before it is finished. It is coming along though. Yea! The stove is my last stainless steel appliance I need to purchase. And that will be complete also. Happy 4th!
