Oh, and this is Sam. He'll be your tour guide today. Starting with the disgusting flagstone flooring in our entry. Its chipped, the grout is dirty and its just plain fug. Behind him you can see the worn out laminate flooring in the kitchen. It used to be white. Now its dingy gray. To his left is our fab new berber carpeting for the bedrooms and hallway.
See? We just love this carpet. So far we haven't even had to vacuum it. It hides everything. Just kidding about the vacuuming. Ignore the beat up trim and doors, that is a whole other project.
These next two pics show the current kitchen and dining room flooring.
Today we happened to find a tile that we loved at Menard's on sale, so we bought it. And now we have 18 boxes of "Castille Mocha" porcelain tile in our basement. I can't wait to redo the floors! Well, let me rephrase that, I can't wait for Pedro to redo our floors.
And in case you couldn't tell. It was made in the USA. We're doing our part to stimulate the economy.
As a bonus, we decided to look for a new light for the dining room. Our old one is HIDEOUS. Here it is laying on our garage floor looking pretty pathetic. Kevin stopped by to help unload tile and he and Pedro decided to swap out the lights. I ran to the hardware store with Sam to get light bulbs and by the time I got home Kevin and Pedro had already dismantled it before I could get a photo.
In case, you didn't notice it in the picture of our dining room earlier, here is our new light. The guys got it in so quickly. I don't know what we would do without Kevin around. With his help, Pedro is becoming an expert handyman.
Anyways, we love our new tile and dining room light. We'll keep you updated with the progress on the house. We have plenty of projects. Trust me.

Julie, this is the funniest post yet. The new light fixture and the curtains in the dining room look great. You are on your way to making a wonderful home.
