Our Kitchen's grownz up.

On all the home improvement television shows, a dramatic transformation occurs within the course of a half hour. I appreciate this in relation to watching a show, but when it comes to our own house, I wouldn't enjoy it too much. In our (Aimee and me) case, the show would last a long time and be quite boring. Why? Because we've made improvements slowly. Why? Because we only pay for improvements for which we can afford. We've taken the five year plan as opposed to the TV show plan. I would rather pay for this stuff in cash than take out loans.

The latest improvement is for our kitchen. So, what did we do? Back Splash. Yah, not too exciting.

I don't have true before and after of pictures of our kitchen from when we moved in vs. its present state. The reason is that the original state of our kitchen did not even reach the level of a kitchen in a crack house. Inhabitants of crack houses would snub their noses at our kitchen, circa 2005.

What I do have is a before and after from a year ago vs now. First, here is a picture from a year ago.

Here is the "Today" with the new backsplash:

We're gettin there...
