This is the counter from whence I blog.
Yep, that's pink tile. It came with the house.
Seeing as granite was not in our budget, and ripping out counters and a backsplash that were in perfectly good condition seemed excessively wasteful, I decided instead to just incorporate the salmon mousse pink color into my decor.
It adds a feminine touch to the kitchen, I must say.
And without the use of doilies or lace, so Jeff's happy.
As for the counter, it's quite high for blogging.
I don't have barstools yet (and the area below the counter is not yet finished), and so I sit on a chair.
Trouble is, when I blog, I kind of feel like this (except without the tattoos):
How biker types can ride those things for any length of time without their arms going numb from lack of circulation is beyond me. My arms are tired.
However, necessity dictates that blogging from this position must be, until this weeks-into-months project is finally complete and blogging can resume from my desk in the guest room.
I can hardly wait! The laminate flooring goes in this weekend!
Oh, and I DID finally find my camera bag. It was a sweet reunion. Oh how I've missed you, my Fuji Finepix!
We've been making up for lost time bustling around the house taking pictures of the progress.
Renovation results postings coming soon!

Oh goody!! You have your camera so we'll be seeing more and more pictures of the new house, right??
Do you feel like you're about 5 while working on the computer?
I'm so thrilled for you and Jeff and the kids, Becky. Even if your house is a WIP (and they all are to some extent), it's YOUR WIP, and I can't wait to see each new step in how you make it your own.
I want to see some more pictures:)
Can't wait for more pictures!!! Just paint your kitchen a pretty brown and you can have a really chic pink and brown kitchen! LOL!
Okay, so this is weird because I am not usually a big pink in the decor kind of girl, but I kind of like the salmon tile...:)
I actually LIKE that color of tile in your kitchen~~and besides, it isn't going to look like everybody else's kitchen now for sure! There's something to be said for that! You have that artist's eye, too, so you will be able to put it all together and it will be gorgeous. One thing I've gotta say, is that you keep your house really clean (maybe not completely uncluttered, but CLEAN) and that looks good in any color scheme. And refresh my memory~~is this the house with **THE PANTRY**? If so, you will have lots of room for everything, which to me is the way every kitchen should be. I can't wait to see the place once you're all done, but even in slow easy stages via your blog is good.
I hope you don't get hunchbacked from working at this weird angle on your computer!
I'm digging the pink! I'd be making that same judgement call when considering the cost of granite. Hooray, glad your camera surfaced as that will enable us to further keep tabs on your vast array of new home projects!
Blessings,
Tracy
The kitchen looks bright, full of sunshine! I blog from the counter, floor, couch -- you name it! LOL!
Hooray for pink! We almost bought a house that still had the original pink oven! Hooray for finding your camera!
I feel your arm pain...at least you don't also have the tatoos!
Blessings, E
I want to see more pictures! Even if it is in upheaval, I'd love to see pictures of the progress!
