Not so much about the kid...

Our first home improvement project took place back in March-- before we moved. The house originally had an electric oven/stove that was actually a double oven which no longer worked. Once it was removed, we were left with quite a bit of bare sheetrock as the formica backsplash didn't carry on behind the double oven.

So, it was off to choose our new backsplash and do some tiling!

We were very happy with how our handywork came out.

Additionally, we had the gas brought up to the kitchen so that we could get a gas oven/stove as a replacement. And I love the one we chose-- it is beautiful and cooks great as well.

We also got new handles for all the cabinets which was an instant improvement!
