Oh, happy day! It’s granite day at John & Alice’s house!! I’m so excited to see those countertops installed. We’ve already made huge strides in updating this kitchen…
The cabinets…painted. The backsplash…gone. The laminate countertops…outta there.
Aaahhhh…isn’t the white like a breath of fresh air? I love how light and bright it is, especially compared to the heavy, orange-brown oak that it used to be.
So today, the granite goes in. Tomorrow, the backsplash goes in. Thursday, the plumbing goes in. I love progress!!
I’m hoping to post a few sneak peek pics at some point today over on the A2D Facebook page. So keep an eye out! And if you haven’t already, then come join us!

Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
I hope you’ll join me on my DIY and decorating journey! If you want to follow my projects and progress, you can subscribe below and have each new post delivered to your email inbox. That way you’ll never miss a thing!

April 27, 2011 at 1:46 pmThe cabinets are SO much better! Out of curiosity, when you tear up tile like you did on the backsplash and the condition of it is what it is in the photo in this post – what do you do to prepare that surface before laying more tile? Sand it down? Putty it up? I'm not saying my entire kitchen floor is in that state right now, but… It might be.

reason people go with the Granite Kitchen Countertop is because it is so
durable. With minimal maintenance, granite countertop will continue to look
brand new years later.
