New Floor Updates

Well, it has been a terrible experience putting in the new flooring. I am sure to many people it would be an easy job, but for us, with two little ones underfoot, it has been a real challenge. Thankfully, we finally finished the most difficult section  and the rest should feel easy from here on out. The kitchen certainly has  a much different look! It is going to take some getting used too. Overall I like the warmer feel and it certainly is much cleaner then the gross old floor that came with the house!

 

 



We still have another easy section to lay and then we have to put back the molding and finishing touches. The clean floor now makes our old countertops looks even worse. We have come to the conclusion that our countertops are some form of cultured marble. We had no idea of that when we moved in. Apparently, you are supposed to use special products and cleaners on that type of countertop and we never did. So, our countertops are scratched, worn, and cracked. Much of the damage was there when we moved in, but we definitely added our own touches.I am considering painting them with a countertop enamel to see if I can at least cover the cracks and scratches. Plus, I really don't like this off white color. We would just replace them, but that is just not on the priority list right now.

It always feels good to finish a project. We are almost there...of course we still don't know if we fixed the issue that caused all the damage in the first place to the original floor...
