Been a bit too busy to post because of my new floors! When we bought our house it was evident that not only did the previous owners let their dog live in the house, but they also used really cheap carpet in the living room. I imagine if I were to go into a carpet store and find my old carpet it would actually be labeled "dirty." Jeff and I had this on our eventual to do list, but last fall the carpet started pulling away from the tile in the kitchen and nails were exposed posing a danger to Max. Long story short, thanks to Uncle Sam's stimilus check we now have new laminate floors. We also removed some tile from the livingroom and removed the tile from the entry way to give the whole area a unified feel. Now if anyone ever tries to tell you removing tile flooring is easy you tell them that they are liars and going to hell. Removing tile is hard and I have the blisters and bruises to prove it. Laying the laminate was easy enough, and for good measure we painted to rooms also. So ta da.. I have a gorgeous new living room which everyone is invited to come see.

wow, those look great! Much better than the carpet. Your comment about it being labeled "dirty" made ma laugh. I just painted my bedroom "Ypsilanti blue," and it's really pretty, although Ypsilanti is a suburb of Detroit so I can't imagine that the skies are much of anything but smog...
