Home projects...

So, we have been doing lots and lots of home improvement projects around here. Last week, we had new counter tops installed. We have yet to put a back splash on. Here they are...


Our dilemma is that now that the new counter tops are on, our vintage stove top looks goofy. We are not sure to replace it with a black stove top or not. We don't want to invest a ton of money into this house before we sell. We are already going to lose money on this bad boy. I mean, the new owners will have a new roof, new furnace, new air conditioning system, and many other smaller updates. So, what are your thoughts on the new stove top. We are OK with buying one, but do you think it would change your mind if you were the buyer?? Another question is that the stove top and the vintage oven match. If we bought a stovetop, will the oven feel lonely?


Currently, we are ripping up the floor in the bathroom to make way for new tile. We had carpet in there for the last 7 years because we thought we had to due to the jacuzzi tub. When we bought the house, our inspector said the motor was underneath the floor and that we had to have access to it in case something broke or leaked. Low and behold, the contractor came in and told us the motor is NOT under the floor. So, the new owners will get a nicely tiled bathroom too.

I think if you replace the cooktop you probably should replace the oven... but then again, you could just kind of wait and see how it looks. what about a flat surface one? That might seem just cleaner and you won't need a new oven? I don't know.

The counters look great!
