I will admit, as soon as I saw those counters, I said "If that girl got that for next to nothing- she is my hero" I think having that soapstone brings it all up to another level. I totally agree with you- don't just do something cheap to do it- wait and get it right.

It's always the back splash and floors. It used to bother me since they were SO expensive and we debated on getting them for so long but, now that my budget is consistently low, it's very satisfying to know I don't need loads of money for my home to look nice and feel welcoming.Juleshttp://www.pancakesandfrenchfries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-47107083130951231212010-05-20T15:28:55.570-04:002010-05-20T15:28:55.570-04:00One of the most beautiful kitchens I have ever see...One of the most beautiful kitchens I have ever seen :)<br /><br />Jules, you rock xxxJoy_UKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-86701668101017231232010-05-20T13:53:28.584-04:002010-05-20T13:53:28.584-04:00love your post! really great kitchen & mix of ...love your post! really great kitchen & mix of "high/low" as designers say. i really can't tell what is high/low at all! since budget is always an issue w/me, it is great to hear what people have responded to when they've seen your kitchen.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194445998406489884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-10927152360101281542010-05-20T13:52:33.942-04:002010-05-20T13:52:33.942-04:00gorgeous! i love it.gorgeous! i love it.ashlina {the decorista}https://www.blogger.com/profile/05672954377155259852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-26336516145267708272010-05-20T12:36:42.340-04:002010-05-20T12:36:42.340-04:00Goes to show with some thought, even walmart floor...Goes to show with some thought, even walmart flooring can look smashing.<br />(And love the meld today of two blogs I love!)Amy Hadleyhttp://www.heynowwhoanow.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-19020894108656677772010-05-20T12:25:41.878-04:002010-05-20T12:25:41.878-04:00This before-after is amazing!

It must be very satisfying to have such a great finished product knowing that you did the bulk of the work yourself.Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/02441070110507014088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-91176779306072902752010-05-20T09:21:46.912-04:002010-05-20T09:21:46.912-04:00Ha.
