Per Dad's Request

A couple of years ago my dear Dad (with the help of my mom to keep track of all the cuts and measurements) installed some tile flooring for us throughout our entry and the kitchen. It.Looks.Amazing! I am not exaggerating when I say that anyone who comes through our door always comments on how awesome the tile is. The Realtor was in love with it also, as he mentioned how great it was overandoverandover.

I told Dan the tile floor will probably sell this house, and I have to admit that I'm going to miss it. Don't get me wrong- I am ready to leave this house (and all it's quirks) and take on another house (which I'm sure will have plenty more quirks). But we, along with the help of family and friends, have put a lot of sweat equity into this home and it just makes it a little harder to leave it. Plus- it's the first home we purchased, so just throw that on top of the pile of reasons it's sad to say goodbye.

But- I want to show pictures of the tile to anyone that hasn't seen or been to our home recently because it is, without a doubt, beautiful.

Of course, in order for you to even understand what a difference the tile makes, I must include the before pictures.

The floor was one big sheet of vinyl laminate. This is a picture from the day we moved in, which it why there is junk and boxes everywhere.

This is the new tile, which you can see as you enter the front door

And this is the view from the hallway where our bedrooms are

So thank you Dad and Mom for spending a whole week slaving away on our kitchen floor (and making many many many trip to Lowes), just to make our home better. We love it!
