Trip to Maui

This is a view of the beach on my morning walks.

Sunset from the deck of our room.

One of the common flowers that you see all over the Island.

The beach that is just about 1/2 a block away from where we were staying.

The view from the deck of our room.

We had a wonderful trip. The weather was beautiful everyday. Lots of sun about 80 degrees and no rain. Wish you could have all come along with us.

Remodeled Bathrooms

The first three pictures are of the downstairs bathroom. We had already replaced the shower in this picture but then finished with the counter and floors

It looks totally different with darker walls and the pedistal sink.
You can only see a little of the tile floor, but it is also dark. I added a touch of color with the rust and gold towels and bathmat.
Here is the before picture of our master bath. The counter was peach colored laminate and the floor had small peach flowers (very outdated). The granite countertop is pretty dramatic, but looks great with the glass tile backsplash. I did not get a good picture of the floor but it is a travertine looking tile. I think everything turned out great but I am glad to have it finished.

Kitchen Remodel

For the past month we have been doing some remodeling in our house. We took out an overhead cupboard and the soffit in the kitchen and replaced showers, counters and floors in two bathroom. Here are some before and after pictures.

The two pictures above show the kitchen before all the work began.

The kitchen is much more open and seems larger. I love the new pendant lighting over the bar area and the recessed lighting in the ceiling. My bathroom remodels pictues will be coming later.

Getting Started

I just set up my blog. Pictures and info coming later.
