Kitchen update

I am working on the final touches--well, semi-final, to my kitchen. I am hoping to post the "after" pictures on Friday. Just to remind you, here is where we started. Actually, when we started out in the house 7 years ago, the cabinets were dark brown, the faux brick backsplash was peachyish with black faux soot marks???? and the floor was cream linoleum. I don't remember the light which means it was so bad that it was the first thing to go. The first color I painted the kitchen was red. And I painted the cabinets white. I loved the red, but with the yellow counters, it just gave me a McDonald's vibe. Then I painted the walls the ugliest shade of yellow you can imagine to match the counters. So, we are actually on our third reincarnation of the kitchen!
