Kitchen photos for CindyS

My kitchen photos are below the cut.


Forgive the poor photo quality. I tend to be too careless with lighting and framing. There goes my back-up career as a photographer.




The kitchen before. Note the 70s patterned flooring and the fruit/flower backsplash.



Kitchen in process -- tile is on the wall and subfloor down.



Close view of the backsplash.


Close view of the floor, which I love.

Wow!! Great job on the flooring and the tiles - amazing how that can make such a difference. I can't tell if you painted the heater but it matches the floor so well that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb anymore - you could really notice it in the first picture.

The last pic looks great and it's the only one I can't get to blow up to a bigger size - grrr ;)

Thanks for posting them for me. I love to see what other people do with their spaces and that floor is great - was it a tile or linoleum?

Cindy,

I LOVE the floor -- it's my favorite part. I bought 12" x 12" linoleum tiles. That way, if a couple of squares are damaged, I can replace them without having to replace the whole floor :)

I think the kitchen looks cleaner...even though I don't clean any more or less now than I did before.

The last pic is one that I had to rotate and save. Hmmm. Would that do something, program-wise, to make it not possible to blow up? I'm html stupid, so I didn't realize it made a difference.

I get what you are saying about the cleaner look - it's not having as much visual stuff to bounce your eye off of - that's why the floor was such a great choice and it makes the rad recede.

As for pictures - I'm pretty much amazed when some blow up and others don't. Does it at my blog all the time and I have no clue because I don't do anything different. *shrug* Smarter people than I know the answer but sometimes things are always meant to be a mystery ;)
