FINALLY-Before and After Kitchen Remodel Pics!!

AFTER:

(don't ask me why I decided to start with the afters. Too much trouble to change it)

I LOVE my deep, big single bowl sink. Plenty of room to wash any pot! I also love the fact that it's an undermount. Love the tall faucet, too, though the handle had to be angled to fit. The hot/cold/on/off toggling is still kind of awkward, though.

I absolutely LOVE the faux finish on the walls now!!!
I should have taken a picture of the telescoping downdraft gizmo at the back of the flat cooktop. It's already been repaired once! I still like it even though it isn't as effective as an overhead exhaust fan but I didn't have much choice.
The pic above is supposed to be a close-up of the glazing technique. Compare to the plain paint below. The painter just added a brown glaze to my "pre-school" yellow paint already on the wall. This can be done if the existing paint is not flat.
BELOW:

This floor was hideous. Compare it to the tile in the first picture.
The weirdest thing about the previous kitchen was the lack of a backsplash behind the sink.
