New Floor= New Kitchen


We love our little rambler house for so many reasons, but sometimes it shows it's 60's style. We have slowly done updates and hope to do many more in the years to come. One that I think about a lot is our kitchen. I have grand plans to bump out, add a mud room, fireplace and family room. I don't know if that will ever happen, but it is fun to dream. However, I was getting tired of the old dated linoleum and dated light fixtures. Since we are still a bit away from doing something bigger we decided to address these issues.

One last shot.


A look at my new light fixtures and flooring... a great wood like product that can go over existing floor and is easy to do (according to home depot 70 year old ladies do it in a weekend.)


We have a friend from church who came to help David and loan him his tools and expertise.


I love the end result!!!!



The mess was all worth it!! We also decided to rip out the carpet in the dining room and will "buff" that floor a bit too. Our old rambler got a bit of a face lift and we are loving it!!!

Wow! Your new light fixture and flooring looks wonderful. What a nice "facelift". You can certainly appreciate the difference it makes although you have always had a very well kept and beautiful home. I am glad that you both decided to do this so you can enjoy it more until "the big renovation down the road" :)
