Kitchen - Before and After

I have decided it might be time to post some before and afters of our house renovation. It was so fun to do the planning and design. We have never done anything like this before, and while WAY stressful, it actually turned out pretty good. 

The kitchen, like most of the house, we weren't planning to completely gut, but after getting in there, our contractor decided that was best.(yup, yeesh)

I love the brick backsplash. It seemed no one could figure out how to do it, but I couldn't NOT do it after I set my mind on it - and I love it. 
What all we did: New floors, new cabinets, removed soffets, knocked a wall down..etc, etc, etc. Whew, lol.
My favorite parts are the sink, the light above the sink, the island (its called weathered granite, and the texture is awesome) and of course, the brick backsplash :)

  6. Where did you get the brick backsplash? Was this a DIY project? Thanks for any additional information. I want to do a brick backsplash behind my stove and am having a lot of trouble finding the materials. Thanks.

  7. I also have my mindset on a brick backsplash. Could you tell me more about it? Where did you buy the materials and why would no one do it?

    1. Hey Jill! Sorry I missed your comment. You can buy brick veneers that are exactly like tile. But we were trying to match out fireplace in the living room, so I has a guy cut the brick horizontally into thirds and just hung them just like normal old brick. It was really easy and sealed it with polyurethane.

  9. What color is your black granite? We are also matching our back splash to our brick fireplace and are thinking about black granite but not sure exactly what color.
