Mr. Oats originally had the kitchen walls and cabinets painted the ugliest cobalt blue I've ever laid my eyes on (blue is his favorite so 
)
Decided to redo the cabinets in a dark grey and painstakingly add a stone backsplash to the entire kitchen
Progress pics (and no, I don't keep a tidy workspace so 
)
Results:
I was feeling 
after finishing the project, but now Mr. Oats is looking at selling the place so I won't be enjoying my labors for as long as I would have liked to 
!homeowners I have redone the kitchen, the study floors, and the fireplace (Mr. Oats installed hardwood flooring in the living room area and granite tile flooring in the kitchen/surrounding hallways) since the place was purchased. Does anyone have a clue how to get the most monetary value on renovations (I want to get ahead of low-balling appraisers 
)

Careful with self install flooring. I've had multiple contractors frick up the sealing and don't want to imagine what a diy would do. It's all fun and games until the wood warps slightly and water starts penetrating.

Please listen to this man
Granite tile is beautiful, but I'll never have it in my house again unless I pay someone to do it. Endless tile spacers…neurodivergentally checking the levels…fml
