Did someone say “countertops”?

That’s right, baby! Countertops!!! This day has been anticipated almost as much as the day the dumpster arrived. A kitchen just doesn’t look like a kitchen without countertops.

We chose Wilsonart Laminate in Slate Gray. I chose it a few months ago based on a walkthrough the Houston IKEA and a photo in a kitchen remodeling magazine. What I love about this color is that it looks black but isn’t reflective like granite. Instead, it absorbs light and has a matte finish. Loving it.

Of course, it will look even better when the fridge (delivered yesterday) and the stove (delivered today) are in. And I am counting the seconds until the Bungalow Blend from Mosaic Tile Market it on the walls….

Hi, I’m new to your blog and I really enjoy it! I have a question about the greenish paint in your kitchen. What is it? It’s gorgeous.
Thanks,

Thanks! All our paint colors are posted here. It might be more mustard-y than it looks in the pictures.

I happened upon your blog last night as I was looking for pics of Ikea cabinets and I am glad a I did. Your kitchen and the rest of your house is AMAZING. I made my husband look through every picture! Really great inspiration for our kitchen since we are doing Adel White cabinets, yellow walls and Black Matte Formica Laminate. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Sincerely,
The stranger who covets your very cool house.
