Good, Better, Best

Good, Better, Best

Never let it Rest,

Until your Good is Better,

And your Better is Best.

This year's project on the house occurred in the kitchen. These were projects that we knew we would have to tackle when we moved in two years ago, and have finally gotten to them.

The people we bought this home from had two huge dogs, thus the doggy door. We do not have dogs anymore, so we did not need the door. All it did was let in the cold air in the winter.

Good:We got a new door, without the doggy door. Otherwise it is pretty much the same door, except the blinds are inside the door. We still need to paint the door.

Whoever thought white linolium was a good idea did not have kids! I had to mop the floor at least every other day, and still it did not come clean. I eventually tried a magic eraser and that would work, but there is no way I'm getting on my hands and knees to clean the floor several times a week.

Better:

To replace the floors, we went with Pergo laminate floors. So far, they have been much easier to clean, and they are NOT white! Even better!

The last poorly designed aspect of our kitchen was white countertops. It had stains from Hawaiian Punch, scratches, etc.

Best:
We changed the countertops to quartz. They look like granite, but they are easier to take care of. They don't need to be sealed, they don't chip, stain, etc.

Here is an up close view of the countertops. Nathan and I are going to attempt to put in our own backsplash eventually. We are thinking the glass mosaic tiles. These are the same ones that are in our bathroom. That will be another post!
