We finished installing our new floor on Saturday. I had come down with a bug of some sort, and was running a mild fever, but I wanted it DONE! It took us two days. I did the lion's share of the work since hubby dearest had back surgery last April and is nowhere near recovery (and probably won't ever be, but that's another story!).
Anyhow, we have a very old house, and the kitchen had numerous layers of old flooring, most of which was impossible to get out without costly removals down to the subfloor. This made picking flooring tricky. Tile needs to be level, and that was going to cost us big time because of the size of the kitchen, so that got ruled out although I wanted is so badly. We ended up with a wood laminate tile that looks just like regular tile. It is a "floating floor" meaning that there is a layer of insulation/padding under it that eliminated the need to completely remove the old flooring. The stuff is super thick and looks great!
I just had to yell to the -orchid- world how thrilled I am to have a real floor again!
I now realize I should have taken a picture or two to post with this... but our cabinet are still primer colored awaiting paint.
