A job well done!

We have been wanting to get our kitchen/hallway floor done for a long time. I kept looking at it and thinking that it was really starting to deteriorate. It was peel and stick and the 'stick' was becoming unstuck! The edges were starting to curl and then you would walk on them and snap off the corner of the tile - NICE!! It's time had come!! The floor was here when we moved in and other things were the priority. Well it was finally time for the floor to be replaced.

Mark and I hummed and hahed for a while as to WHAT type of floor we wanted and how we were going to do it. Well an opportunity fell upon our laps.

My mom and sister Tracey were going to England for a week and Phil would have nothing to do to keep him busy while mom was away - enter floor replacement!! The timing was PERFECT!!

Mark got everything ready for the new floor. He put everything from the kitchen to the dining room. He ripped up the old floor and took off all the baseboards and whatever else Phil asked him to.

In that dark mess in the corner, you can see a bit of the old 'peel and stick tile'.


Here are some other Pictures of the Before/during phase.




Here is our dining room that has been taken over by the kitchen appliances.


And now for the unveiling of the BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, PRETTY, AMAZING new kitchen/hall floor!!!





A close up of the floor - Amazing isn't it!!


Thank you SOOOOOOOO much to Phil for doing such a great job with the floor AND all the new baseboards!! WE LOVE IT! WE LOVE IT! WE LOVE IT!!!
