Saturday Post 2 of 2: Before and After Photos

Kitchen First.
When we moved in, the kitchen had these terrible faux-wood Formica counters. Bleh.
A was able to get us some beautiful granite tile to replace it with, so in June (June) we ripped out the old stuff. He did all the tile-prep work fairly quickly (new plywood, new hardi-backer boards, etc), so for that last 7 months, we've had concrete countertops. Lovely, huh?
We decided to replace our old sink and faucet as well, so before the counters were completed, the new sink was basically just propped up so we could use it, but not really 'installed'. Just this past week, he finally had the time to tile the counters and install the sink - and I loooove how it turned out! He still needs to tile the backsplash, but at least now we have a fully-functional kitchen!

Before (kind of, we already removed drawers)
During - no sink, no counters!

After!! New counter, new sinks, new handles/pulls!

Now, our bathroom.
I already posted the completed tile around our tub and shower, but I didn't have the "before" photos loaded at that time.. so here they are.
We had just the boring builder white tiles before, and now have 12" tile, and an added "nook" for shampoos and things. We had the glass installed this week - so all our bathroom needs now is new floors and it will be d-o-n-e. Luckily, A won't be ripping out the current floors until he is ready to install the new ones. I wouldn't allow it. ;)
Don't let the photo of me "working" fool you - I helped for all of 10 minutes before I got frustrated with how slow and weak I was and decided to leave it up to the professional.
I still don't have a photo of the glass - but, it looks like a glass shower enclosure! Nothing fancy, just silver edges and clear glass (not fogged in any way). I'm sure you can use your imagination! ;)

Another Kind-Of-Before: we started removing the glass
Workin' Hard!!
Actually workin' hard!
The beautiful new tile!!

My husband sure is handy. And I sure do love him for it!
I love him for many other reasons too, of course, but being a handy man is certainly on the list!!
