Any HELP for my small drabby checkerboard kitchen:(

I was watching HGTV the other night, and looking at houses,being redone, or getting a free contractor to make over their house, and well I got a lil envious and I realized I really shouldn't feel this way, but I did and we are suppose to be happy with what we have. I know I should be happy with my drabby checkerboard kitchen..well...uggg!!!The checkerboard floor, and tile. I love looking at other peoples homes here in blog world, people really do have beautiful kitchens and beautiful homes. I love seeing transformations of kitchens, so many gorgeous ones at that. Well, I wish I could wave a magic wand and make mine redone!! I probebly am not the only stay at home mom who love to have a redo in her kitchen but I often laugh at some of the redos here on blogs because the beginning of there kitchen before the redo is just as nice, I just wish mine looked like some of the before pictures on some of these ppls blog pictures..lol.. Well anyways like my hubby said some of these ppls house payments are $700-1500 a month or more, and our house payment is only $429 and will be paid off in a few years, so I can't complain..of course its small, but I bet alot are in debt up to their eyeballs just to have a fancy kitchen, or a house to WOW everyone!! I thought long and hard and realized material things are not gonna go with you when you leave this earth, God does not care about what house you live in, or a kitchen redo, and you know what...I SNAPPED right out of my envious stage....Be happy with what you have, and happy for what others have, and do not be envious of others, so that I will keep in mind when I see all that I would love to have. I thank you so much for stopping by, and follow along. I LOVE to have you. Don't forget to enter my TARGET gift card and swiffer giveaway. Now, to a few pictures of my kitchen:)I doubt you will be envious at ALL!!..lol....
