that's not coming clean......
out with the old, in with the.....
........NEW!!!!
Had to show the progress....looking good!
Yes, its true...I'm getting older! You know how I know??? Because I was ecstatic to get new kitchen floors!!! If you'd ask me 10 years ago...kitchen floors were not something that would have sparked excitment, in fact, it would have been a bore! But today! Well, that's a whole other story...one of visions of easily sweeping up crumbs, a quick swipe of a cloth to banish spills, and boys racing around on wheeled stools...with out even a hint of a scratch left behind! Yes, it is true bliss...a kitchen floor, that is!
Let me just add that appreciation for kitchen floors grows even more when you put your own blood, sweat, and tears in it...okay, okay, so maybe not blood, sweat, and tears....but definitely time and frustration (well, maybe a little sweat!). JR and I measured, cut, laid, and tapped this lovely floor into place. I became queen of the chop saw and will forever have memories of the spacers, rubber mallet, and "tongue and groove" method. The outcome is marvelous and I'm sure we will enjoy it for years. It seems a shame to cover it with kitchen rugs!
