It's Finished!

For the last few weeks we have been living in dust, clutter, and chaos while we re-tiled & re-carpeted most of our house! I didn't realize how much work goes into tiling- Tony got the old tile up, then the boards under it to find the original white linoleum (pretty!) which also had about 1000 nails pounded into it (not exagerating!)- we spend an entire night pulling up nails- our hands were VERY sore! Tony and my dad worked for days and finally finished tiling, then my mom & I grouted it the next day, and I sealed it the day after that. Then yesterday the carpet guy came- it literally feels like we just moved into a new house! We LOVE it! Our old carpet had stains all over, it was hard & flat and ugly- this new stuff is like walking on pillows! There's a few more things I'd like to do to our house, but I told Tony I'd be happy staying here another 10 years as long as we don't outgrow it!This is our front room w/ our kitchen table, chairs, etc.

Yes, the refrigerator was also in the front room, along w/ the stove- makes it a little difficult to cook!

The NEW carpet!

The following are the before & after pictures of the kitchen:

P.S. We have a strict NO SHOES rule now in case anyone comes over! ;)
