Kitchen Flooring

After months of walking on plywood, we finally have our kitchen floor done! Well, there are still some small details to take care of, but the majority of the work is done and it looks great. We used what's called "luxury tile." It looks like tile but is warmer and we could choose not to use grout with it. (It's a mixture of marble and polymers...not that that means much to me, but that's what the packaging says.) Both of us are very pleased with the outcome. We just finished this morning, so don't have our appliances back in the kitchen yet. (They've spent the past three weeks in the living room.) The kitchen is a wreck, too, but I figured if I didn't just take pictures now, it could be months before I got around to it. =)

We put hickory down in our dining area about two months ago, but apparently I don't have any pictures of that yet. I can't take one now, because most of that floor is covered with tools and such from this most recent project. It's okay. I'm feeling optimistic, because all of the big stuff is done and we should finally be able to put our house back together once and for all (or at least for
a long while...).
