Luckily, all the sanding is over, so I could finally wipe down the mess inside each of the cabinets and wash all our stemware, plates, tupperware, pots, pans, etc etc etc.... etc.
Regardless, we are now a Purple Free zone!
initially the counter looks "charcoal-y", until further inspection you see the pretty blues and browns
huge goose neck faucet... looks like its time to give Penny a bath!
Now, it may seem the kitchen went from 'Periwinkle Dream' to 'Blue Overload', but remember we are also getting a natural stone tile backsplash. so that blue wall between the counter and upper cabinets will be gone. The tile is on backorder, so we have another 4 wks before that comes in.
And the winner last Friday was for me to bake some Chocolate & Butterscotch Chip Cookies... which I did yesterday afternoon...
I just used my go-to Toll House Cookie recipe, but something was up with the consistency of the cookie dough (I'm suspecting maybe I used the wrong butter - salted/unsalted.. not sure which made it way into the mixer). So to get the dough a little thicker I added some extra flour and sugar. They came out a little lighter in color (probably because the ratio of brown sugar was lowered), but still just as tasty.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Happy Monday!
Very exciting E! Your fancy shmancy countertops look great!
ReplyDeleteSoo pretty! Looks great and doesn't it feel so mice and clean? And you jar a penny to!? Love it! I think I spy the hubsand, lucky man to have you and those cookies! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Andi!
ReplyDeleteAmber - it feels great (I'm a total clean freak so the mess has been driving me wild), now we just need some drawers and cabinet doors so I can finish organizing.
You do spy the husband, being a good little helper and dusting as I started the cookies :) and we have two jars - a Baxter and Penny, had to buy both, no favorites in this house!
The granite looks gorgeous. It is going to look amazing once it is all done! I am going to try the nestle toll house recipe with butterscotch chips added. :)
ReplyDeleteyay for granite! we have them and love them :)
ReplyDeletelove the blue paint too!
