New Floor!

When we moved in, we knew we would be replacing the kitchen floor. Therefore, we were less than careful with it. It had things permanently stuck to it, paints spilled, linoleum ripped up, etc. Finally, after 2.5 years and a 5 foot pile of tile boxes living next to the fridge, we did it!

We started with this:

Please take note that it is a faux brick pattern. Even better, it isn’t textured, but it is an actual photo of brick that is repeated over and over and over.

This was how we lived for 4 days:

That’s my stove and the back of the fridge behind my sofa. It sucked.

All in all, it was SO worth it:

Poor Steve worked 3 days to put this in. It was a pain in the ass for more than just us. But from where we stand, it was worth all the inconvenience.
