Remodeling


I just can't believe we are doing it. Remodeling that is. When we bought this house (May 30, 2002) almost 5 years ago (yes, son we have lived in the same house for almost 5 years) we talked about putting wood floors in the main part of the house, and ceramic tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. Well, the day is here Lowes bought the materials for the kitchen today and Friday morning the installers will be here to put the tile down. We have become spoiled in our "old" age, we splurged and are having a warming pad put under the tile so in the cold months our bare feet won't be ice from walking on tile. What will they think of next. We also tackled the job of repainting and I got to select colors for the walls this time. (you see my man is a neutral wall type of guy) We still have our red room but to complement it we put gold on the living/dining room walls and a lighter gold in the kitchen. What a chore to get it done but it will be worth it in the end.
The picture above shows what the floors look like now. This was taken at Thomas' graduation party.
