NEW FLOORS!!!

We put down new flooring in our living room, kitchen/dining/family rooms! It looks like wood, but it is actually a rubber floating floor that was very easy to install. It looks and feels like real wood, and the only tools Chris needed to lay it down was a carpenters square, measuring tape, and box cutter. There was no glue and we could walk on it as it was laid down--much easier than tile! Please disregard the mess in the room, we were still working on the room next to it.
This is what the flooring and base molding looked like when we moved in.
VERY dark trim moldings, and the carpets had been there for at least 15 years, probably longer!
The carpet in the dining/family area was GROSS! Whoever thought of carpet in a dining room didn't have small children. We couldn't believe how much sand had made it to the subfloor.
This is the new floor and trim! So pretty, though it really makes me want to update the cabinets today!
Chris doing what he does best! He is our resident handy-man, and we don't know what we would do without him!
