When we first moved in we had golden oak cabinets, gray laminate countertops, and navy blue floor tile as a back splash.  

Right after moving in we didn't have the budget to start a full kitchen makeover.  I started with paining our cabinets white, changed out the hardware for an oil rubbed bronze finish, and painted our backsplash tile.  In December we were finally able to get granite, and a new sink and faucet!
