New Flooring

Wow! The last month has been a huge whirlwind of traveling back and forth between Illinois and Texas. a 16 hour drive that we made 5 weekends in a row. Yes, we know we're crazy, but I guess we dream big! But we're loving the dream, so not too many complaints from us!

We officially live in Texas, and we're trying to finish our floors and unpack boxes. So naturally our house is a mess and the floors aren't done yet. But we can see the light at the end of the tunnel (for now - until we start tackling the bathrooms and laundry room. And don't mention the kitchen, the floor in the kitchen won't be changing for a while; like a year or two).

Here's what we're up to as new home owners!

So we are putting in this "wood floor" flooring that is actually porcelain tile. We have only grouted a small portion of it, but this is a grouted portion of the floor next to our brand just-laid-yesterday new carpet. It's so soft and I think it makes the whole house look younger ;) Here's an up close picture

Like I said, our house is kind of a mess right now with unpacking, but here is the BIG PICTURE!

Keep in mind that this tile has not been grouted yet. And the baseboards haven't been put back on yet. And the tiles are still a little dusty. After we have grouted it all, we still have to seal the tiles. So we still have a lot of work to do, but you can just tell it's going to look FABULOUS!

Thanks for sharing in my excitement today!
