New flooring

The following is my most exciting Christmas present this year...by far. I really had no idea that we would receive anything of great material value. It is so much more exciting to spend money on the grandchildren. And we certainly were content with that, as we decided not to exchange gifts this year. And then, lo and behold Mimi and Papa lavished us with money for house repairs. Thank you, thank you, thank you SO much!

The old...

Ignore, the cute, blurry little guy. Our old flooring was country blue, big, Mexican tiles with the deepest grout this side of the Mississippi. No broom could tackle the crumbs that would get stuck in this grout! This tile= sweeping three times a day on hands and knees to have a clean floor! Needless to say, our floor was not always clean.

In process...Again, ignore the cutie. The only thing less attractive is the laminate under the grout. Butter yellow with blue swirls. Thank you, sweetie, for saving us hundreds by doing all of the installation yourself.

The NEW!!!

The look is so much nicer, but even better, a smooth surface to maintain. This floor will truly bless me and our family every day this year!
