Kitchen Countertop and Backsplash

     I never thought it will take this long just to replace our kitchen countertop from the old-fashioned white tiles to Silestone. My husband had been doing a lot of research and we went to various stores to shop for better quality materials yet very affordable prices. We already picked the color of the Silestone (African Red) as well as the materials we are going to use for the backsplash. The problem is, the one who will do the job.

      Although my husband is not working as much as he did, he is still very persistent to continue in remodeling our kitchen countertop and backsplash. We have trouble in looking for a reliable contractor. There were at least five contractors came to our house to give us a free estimate and most of them were given us a hard time in giving their estimates. Finally, we decided which contractor to use and he is the one recommended by the store where we are going to buy the Silestone.

     Finally, our kitchen countertop is done. It's really look so nice. On monday the contractor will come back again to finish the backsplash. We don't have plumbing since yesterday and probably up to thursday of next week. We are also have to repaint our kitchen with a different color that will match with our new kitchen countertop and backsplash. It was not that long ago when we repainted our kitchen and now we have to repaint it again. Hoping everything will turn out well.
