Cottage Project #3

Hi sweet friends!! How are ya? I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! Ours was very nice. We had my parents and my grandma over for a yummy cookout. I think I gained five pounds, lol! My mom brought her McGregor cake and that is my FAVORITE!! I ate almost all of it myself, lol!!! Now I have to be good until the 25th when we go on our romantic getaway!

This weekend, Chad also did a project for me that I have been wanting for years!!! Now, I must tell you that Chad HATES home improvement projects!!! He is a behind the desk kinda guy. So the fact that he did this for me means SO MUCH!! Thank you baby, your the best! He did such a good job on it too!



See how UGLY my backsplash was before?? Hideous blue, the same as the counter tops. Now, I love the counter tops. They are pretty soft blue with pink! But I dont like it continuing up the backsplash, I just think it looks tacky.

Now, my beautiful beadboard backsplash!!! I LOVE it! It really brightens up the house. My house is all open. You can see every room from every room. So this really brightens up the kitchen and makes it look much more cottagey. And it pops against the gorgeous maple cabinets. Some of you have suggested that I paint my cabinets white. That will NEVER happen, lol! I LOVE these cabinets. It is one of the reasons I bought the house! Maple is my favorite wood. It is so soft and pretty. And I think it DOES have a cottage feel! I don't think kitchen cabinets have to be white to be cottage. I always thought cottage style had no rules. I chose the wide trim because it goes with all the rest of the trim in my home. I have a lot of beadboard in my home also, so it all just flows now. I love beadboard. Nothing says cottage like white beadboard!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!! Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting me. Your comments means so much!!! Love ~ Bunny
