Back-tion!

Our kitchen needs a little "back-tion" - see below for before pics and measurements we provided to our contractor for a white subway tile backsplash....

We are getting rid of this 11x11 vent and replacing it with tile

From behind the stove to the window - 23"x58"

Behind the sink to the bottom of the window - 9"x44"

From Window - under cabinets to the wall: 13"x54.5"

 The new quartz counter and subway tile back splash are being installed this week (yay)!  Can't wait to see the finished product...stay tuned for updated pictures.

Tic Tac Tile

I really wanted a picture of the Ronnie Miller Express from Can't Buy Me Love...that says "Tic Tac Tile" on the side...but alas, Google images has let me down....

In it's place lets check out Patrick Dempsey's Ronnie Miller transformation....

Funny how I feel the same way about our bathroom and kitchen...
After some heavy lifting (the oven and fridge had to go - pics here) check out our Totally Chic Tic Tac Tile below...

Bathroom - White Marble (Home Depot) will be filled in with Snow White Grout

Kitchen - Topaz Cypress Porcelain Tile (Home Depot) - will be filled in with a dark grey grout

So pretty!  And the kitchen floor is George hair proof...or at least it camouflages it more than the lovely vanilla laminate?  More pictures to share in an upcoming post - hint hint....the grout and new appliances have been installed.....ohh la la!

Green with Envy

Happy St. Patrick's Day - after expressing my love for Kate and Andy Spade's bathroom last week - figured I would be inspired by their gorgeous kitchen - full of Kelly Green accents.....pics are from Habitually Chic...

Love everything about this kitchen - especially the black and white tiled floor, eat in area with bench, and glass cabinets to display china ....a few additional green accents I would consider for The Hanna House green dream kitchen...
