Kitchen Reveal! My New Cork Floors!

When we moved into our house it had orange shag carpet and dark brown wood walls. Everywhere. The kitchen was no exception. The darkest room in the house! Since the whole house needed a facelift we decided to do a cosmetic makeover in the kitchen. We painted the cabinets white, got new silver drawer pulls and then....nothing. We were debating floors, counter tops etc. Finally we decided on cork floors.


Here's the before pic:

This was what was underneath the yellow and brown stained glass pattern linoleum. Yes, doo doo brown checkerboard linoleum! YUCKO!


Now look at my new cork floors!!

Not only does it hide dirt but it's warm and soft! Shelby our dog loves the floors. And what is that peaking out? That pop of canary yellow?




That's right friends, my bamboo chairs! Can you believe someone had thrown these away? Hubby had them redone and painted for us. I LOVE THEM!

Now on to counter tops and wall paper! Let me ask you....here's our Jonathan Adler wall paper.

It's going over the little nook area.


With our canary yellow chairs, and our white table (have to find) what color would you do the counter tops?


Do tell!
