Is it really March?

Only five blog posts all year?!? It's not that we haven't been doing things - it's maybe that we have been doing too many things or should I say one big thing! 

We are in the process of renovating our kitchen.  It started out with a rather simple conversation... "Let's redo the kitchen.  All we really need to do is update the appliances, a new countertop and new floor."  Three things, really.  Ok, not so really.  We have spent almost every weekend doing some sort of shopping for this project.  First we picked out the granite.  Then we picked out the appliances and then the floor.  But there was also the backsplash, the paint color, the sink, and a new kitchen table.

Bruno will be installing the backsplash tile.  Of course he thought he could just "pop off" the existing tile but, as is usually the case with older homes like ours, it wasn't installed properly.  So it pulled off a lot of drywall when he took the tile off.  So there is spackling and finishing work to do before the new tile can be installed. The house is a disaster as we have cleared off the counters and now cleared out the cabinets for the granite installation. 

But we are close to seeing the results and we are very excited.  Bruno loves to cook and I love to bake. Our kitchen, as in most homes, is a gathering place for all of our entertaining.  All in all we feel fortunate that we can do this kitchen renovation.  And, yes, I will be posting before and after pictures soon!
