Done for now... Some renovations in the 'new' house

[turquoisedude]

It had been something that I had in mind since we decided to buy the house in St-Liboire - putting in a new floor for the kitchen and dining areas.   

 

Now, if I'd been smart, I'd have gotten this done before we moved but, well this is ME we're talking about... LOL

 

Most of the work was done while we were in Mexico - the last of it was done last week (poor Hubby got to live in the Dust Bowl).  I spent this week dealing with construction dust and just managed to get it done in time to spend the long holiday weekend down in Ogden.   My sense of timing is off.... LOL

 

Here's the before shots of the dining room and kitchen floors.

And after...

 

We went with hardwood (oak) for the dining area, tiles for the kitchen and added bonus - tiles on the kitchen counter backsplash!   We had the floor in the living area, hall and stairways done to match the newer wood in the dining area.  

 

I'm pretty darn happy with the results.  But I think I want to do some repainting now.... After the long weekend for sure.

Looks great! Between all the left over dust and a shedding dog, aren't you glad to have a built-in vacuum? Sure helps a lot. Greg

And grateful that the vac still works well, too!  LOL

Not that the hardwood isn't nice, but if it were me, I'd want to put it all back.

Beautiful!! Love the wood floors and the checkerboard in the kitchen!!

That kitchen floor is great!  I did not realize how open the rooms were before these photos.  The black-and-white really set off the turquoise in the kitchen.

 

Tres bien!

Looks Faboo!

I love my ceramic tile, such a nice change from linoleum.  No scrubbing and waxing.  I'd be happier with hardwood in the bedrooms as opposed to pergo, but have to admit it's 100% easier to keep clean.  

 

Nice job by your tradesmen!  

 

And, a little late:  Joyeux Paques!
