a few kitchen upgrades

We bought our house a couple years back now, but the wife never really liked the kitchen. So I had a bonus coming and blew it on kitchen shit. Had granite countertops installed, bought a new double oven, and installed a new faucet and glass tile backsplash. I've never done a backsplash before, it was more work than I realized, but looks nice.

Looks great man, I like it. I just helped my buddy do a backsplash today and you're right it does kinda suck. You're lucky you went with the little square ones, he went with something like this:

So we had a lot of lining up work to do. We used some $30 tile-scorer-and-breaker thing and it was a total bitch cutting and fitting around outlets and stuff.

That looks very nice, the colors are really clean. I agree about the cutting and fitting, it was a PITA.

 

That stove is sick. nice work man

 

Thanks, we dig it so far. Been using the lower oven a lot more than I anticipated.
