Saying Good-bye to our Old Counters and Sink

Our farmhouse sink has been installed but that left kind of a mess around the whole sink area with some missing cabinet doors and some countertops cut away. I took these photos the day before the sink was installed. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY4yQ93K8yfAORYHlz9W3zl_jMwwjD8bmTTMSV0FS3ru5bhNyBw3AAf6boEp_QZzplzUj2SvGV_ADmcaFmZ9vOOnO67_CMy96Qn-UXR3j_0Y6juZRZyCddA9xwhtJNLBOOGTZuB1X_tTk/s1600/hDSC_7322.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

They do look pretty good and I have not photoshopped out any marks on them in the photos  above but if you look you will see that there is quite a bit of stuff lined up on the counters. That's because I have things strategically placed to help hide just how old and marked up the counters are. Here are just two photos but I could have taken a ton more that show the cracks and marks throughout the whole countertop. By filling the counters up it helped hide a lot of the marks both in real life and in photos. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlQKXsDYy20ApCTFub7WcpYS-dSlOqtnpgCQxesWDTbwSMvFCHCPATEjOxexkq6ncocKpQpkClaWCIbTphWuG6S2CD3GmEySs4c3SqugRxkU9kTD97u4MifOO_aHOyi9p0LXgp6GenS70/s1600/ephoto-17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlQKXsDYy20ApCTFub7WcpYS-dSlOqtnpgCQxesWDTbwSMvFCHCPATEjOxexkq6ncocKpQpkClaWCIbTphWuG6S2CD3GmEySs4c3SqugRxkU9kTD97u4MifOO_aHOyi9p0LXgp6GenS70/s1600/ephoto-17.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Well, that's it for today.

Adding some Spring Colors In our Kitchen and Family Room

I figured I would wait until after the holidays once I was ready for some cheerful spring-like touches. One of the things I love most about sticking with a neutral palette is that it is so easy to switch around a few pillows or accessories and get a new look. It obviously doesn't change things that much, but it does help me look around and feel like the promise of spring is on the horizon! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
