I've got black metal "bird's nest" pulls and knobs on mine.<br /><br />Lookin' good!!!! Just like the beautiful cupcakes that made my mouth water! Yikes!! Your Mr must be the most popular guy in his department! Great idea to have your treat and send the rest to the office. I do that with my sons. I'll make a batch of cookies, for example, and ship all but two! Get those suckers IN THE BOX and taped closed FAST!<br /><br />Enjoy your Valentine's Day, my dear!Mellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920991549282908444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-38557833047730971642012-02-14T09:00:15.262-05:002012-02-14T09:00:15.262-05:00It's funny reading this and looking at the pic...It's funny reading this and looking at the pictures because the new ones are very beautiful, but the old ones did make the room appear lighter. <br /><br />It seems like no matter how much kitchen space we have, it never seems to be enough. I know my kitchen is not the smallest, but I wish that it would have been a little bit bigger. My mom and sister come over and envy my kitchen because they say that it's big and open. I will admit that I have a lot of space, so I need to appreciate the space that I have because it's definitely bigger than some that I have seen. I wouldn't have approved of the house if the kitchen had been smaller.It's Me!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17034014168473394374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-81487758023404275172012-02-13T22:15:27.292-05:002012-02-13T22:15:27.292-05:00Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful!

More than I have, I'm sure. I painted the walls in my living room a dark blue about 7 years ago. The room is not very big, but I have light carpeting and furniture in there. I think it's gorgeous. Loved it then and still do. LIGHT is highly overrated.dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-48723815942987695122012-02-13T11:05:12.686-05:002012-02-13T11:05:12.686-05:00Looks wonderful--I love the look of the granite.

I think I might have a tiny bit more in that back corner, but what can you do with that area anyway? Oh, and I have the double oven, too--so worth having.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794334786555278616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-66633874089503679322012-02-13T10:09:12.612-05:002012-02-13T10:09:12.612-05:00It's beautiful!

They are small enough that you can't see them unless you are looking for them, they are battery operated, so no running of electrical or loss of outlet. They serve there purpose, light where I need it, when I need it.vannasmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111546121573981506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-52526388030915447052012-02-13T09:07:46.206-05:002012-02-13T09:07:46.206-05:00I have a super litte galley kitchen.

I have felt so inadequate because everyone seems to have an amazing kitchen when they post pics of their food or whatever. I felt like "and then there's MINE." So thanks for making me feel like less of a kitchen enigma!<br /><br />Kerry- No backsplash for us. I just painted in there and we'll be moving in the next few years so we're not dumping more money into the place than we absolutely have to. Now at the next place, I would love to do glass subway tile but with my luck that trend will be on its way out but I don't care. I love the look of it!Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-68468100991598359022012-02-13T08:32:57.700-05:002012-02-13T08:32:57.700-05:00I like the countertops!

I liked it when we first moved in, but its terribly hard to color coordinate and I am not a home decorator at all. <br /><br />Is a backsplash in your future plans?

I'm pretty sure you have more counter space than I do too, but I just try to remember that it means less space to clean. <br /><br />You new counter tops look great!

And by the way, you have more counterspace than I do. Pinky swear. <br /><br />This weekend I got some mascara (because my favorite dried out), made tortilla soup for lunch this week, made a flourless chocolate cake (still needs work), made scottish eggs for Eddie's breakfast, bought/wached Breaking Dawn Part 1 (and was extraordinarily disappointed), and did our taxes.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907801009124219259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-90537113605288749312012-02-13T06:26:07.757-05:002012-02-13T06:26:07.757-05:00Looks great!
