Ta Da....

Below are some pictures from our reflooring and painting project. But first of all let me take you back to what our kitchen looked like back in 2000....



So here's what our kitchen looked like after our original remodel...

All we really changed was the flooring, but it really makes the room show up more. The flooring is a little more gray than this photo shows though.


Here you see a little of the family room before....

Dining room before (plus extra furniture from the family room)....

After (sorry, this picture is a little yellow, but you get the idea)....

Mike tearing up the entryway....

Look at the ugly linoleum he found under the wood flooring he pulled up....early 80's for sure!

After.....

This was a full family affair.....Mike (master planner), Kellen (clean up crew), Josh (lead asst.), Toni (professional painter), Jaelyn (nail remover), and Kaia (second nail remover) worked, plus my parents came down to help with the final touches. Dad helped Mike with the transition pieces and other details, while Mom helped entertain the girls and wash/dust the many neglected knick knacks. Mom and I then rearranged everything for the walls, directing Dad where to hang them. We really appreciate the group effort, and it looks great, but I especially need to thank Mike for his many, many hours of planning, work, and sweat, despite many moments of frustration. Good thing he's a math teacher, as he had to apply many formulas to figure out how to match up all the flooring. Love you babe!
