House Renovations - November 2007

Yeah, I know....these are old at this point, and I mentioned the renovations several months ago....but I'm gonna show the pictures anyway. Mom and Burt came down to visit our new home, and of course what visit would be complete without some form of home renovation? We opted to replace the previous kitchen carpet with ceramic tile....which quickly extended to including a ceramic backsplash around the counter and some wainscotting for the walls.....but in the end came out quite well. Sure, that was one weekend the four of us will never get back.....but we did at least make time to show Burt the Wheatley harbour and fish plants, resulting in the obligatory fish fry of local favourites pickerel, perch and smelt.......

Tiling the kitchen floor - no more carpet!

Tile backsplash - much easier to clean than funky green wallpaper!

Particle board wainscotting - who knew??? (besides Jane)
