Backsplash Inspiration...

They are installing our backsplash tonight!  
We are getting close, but all of those "little" things take time to finish up.  
 We still have to add wood molding to our cabinets and finish painting the moldings and a few baseboards.

Here are a few of the kitchens that were my inspiration for our backsplash:
1- I like the grey and white color combo of this one.

2- The color and geometric design is really fun on this one.

3- I love marble...I wish this was in our budget!

4- The beadboard backsplash looks really fresh, I also love the stairs and clock!

5-  We decided to go with white subway tile like the picture below, hopefully it looks this good!  

Which backsplash is your favorite?

New Kitchen...New Furniture

Last night, It was after 11pm and our countertops were still being installed!  
Poor guys, that is what you call a long day!
We are getting SO close to being done with our kitchen remodel!!
My sweet sister helped me put together my barstools and we also got our table & one bench put together.  
The fun part for me is decorating our "new" space!
I sold my old table that looked like this...
It was a great table, but it was just too square for the new space.
Our new one looks like this...
This table is from World Market, I scored a whole set that included the table, a bench & 4 chairs for $499.00!! 
I was able to sell my other set for a good price, so I only had to pay $100.00 out of pocket for the new set!  I love that it has a built-in leaf that extends, so you can have seating for 8 people.
I'm trying to find two accent chairs to put at the ends of the table.

We will now have a big island, which I am so excited for!
We decided to extend the countertop on the island so we could have a place to sit.  This sent me on the search for barstools that would fit under the counter.
I really like the industrial look, but didn't love the prices I was finding to purchase them.  
I did finally find some at Target when they were on sell & they shipped to the store for free!

I love that they also adjust to different heights, just by spinning the seat.
I can't wait to start cleaning up all of the dust around here and start putting my house back in order!

Sneak Peek...

Our kitchen remodel is "slowly"moving along, but we are making progress...
I LOVE woodwork, it completely changes the whole feel of a room.  It adds so much character.
I knew it was a good sign when it was beautiful before it was even painted, but
I couldn't believe my eyes when the paint was actually applied. 
It's gorgeous...
They are finishing up the paint this week, upper cabinets will be installed on Monday & then counter tops are next.  I'm starting to see there is an end in sight!
I'll admit my patience is beginning to run out.  
We have been under construction for over 4 months now!  
When they delivered the appliances & we had to move furniture & take off the front door, I couldn't help but think it would of been easier to just move! ;)
It is going to feel like a whole new house in the remodeled area when it's done though!
Hopefully, I'll be able to have a final reveal soon!!

{UPDATE}
You can see the final reveal HERE.
