New Floors!

Gary and I have been wanting to update the flooring in our condo ever since we bought it. It's CRAZY that we have lived here for over 2 years now! (Yes, we have been waiting THAT long). But, we finally did it! The "demo" part of it was less then fun. Our whole downstairs was COVERED in like and inch of dust from ripping out all of the tile. For those who have never seen our place, we had 3 different types of tile plus carpet all on the main level. AND all touching. YUCK! How is that even possible? It was bad! So, we wanted it all gone. While we were pulling up the tile in the kitchen, we found the most ridiculous linoleum. The pictures don't even do it justice. But, we are almost done now. I even helped cut and lay like half of it. There's no proof, but, it happened. Now, we just have to put the floor boards up and then start on the bathroom and closet upstairs. It looks so much better now! Thanks all of you who helped! I think that Gary is done with projects for a while, but I am ready to start updating the kitchen cabinets. :)

         So, all of those orbs aren't ghosts, that just how dusty is was. :)

                          Gary and Will were troopers!  Thank You!

The wood floors look really good and all but I don't know why you didn't keep the new find underneath?? So retro!

Is it weird to say I actually kind of like the floor you found underneath! I'm weird though so I guess it's ok. When are we going to be invited to see your place? I promise I won't spit on them!
