Built-in Kitchen Desk Project

We had our formica countertops replaced a few years ago with granite.  I like the granite on our island where our cooktop is located, but I do not like it in the rest of the kitchen because it was installed incorrectly, and I just don't like it.  So we will be replacing it with white ceramic tile eventually, but in the meantime, Mr. Art @ Home decided to go ahead and tile my built-in desk. The granite guys did not replace it with granite because we have a hutch that is attached, and they were too craptastic to know how to install the granite.  I suppose it was a blessing in disguise since I do not like the granite anyway. You can see a post about our kitchen here.

This is what the desk looked like before:

And here is the reveal:

Mr. Art @ Home updated the electrical, too.  Now I can recharge my macBook, iPad, cell phone, and digital camera on my desk.

We use this desk for surfing the 'net, blogging, homework, and writing grocery lists and menus. 

I could not pass up these roses because of their name: Yaba Daba Do!  I love the bright coral color.

I am all ready to blog now.  :D

We are slowly getting through a list of projects we want to accomplish this fall and winter.  I cannot wait to tackle more projects soon.

Until next time...
