Transformed while away!

Jeff decided to surprise me while I was in Texas. We have not liked our kitchen floor since we moved in. It was white with a nasty gray grout. It was ugly. So, Jeff decided to put new tile in while I was gone. Here is a picture of the kitchen before. It's hard to see how ugly the tile is, but just trust me on this one.


Here are some pics of the work in progress.


Here, Jeff has begun chopping up the tile.


Oh, Thank you thank you thank you LORD that I wasn't here for this.

I am still finding dust particles from this awful site even today.

What's this you see....yes, even under the ugly there is uglier!!

Seriously....this is just gross. What era was this floor from? 50's?60's? Well our house was built in the 80's...so I guess that would be my answer. I'm glad I don't remember styles that much from the 80's.


Here Jeff is beginning to lay the Durock and to pour some leveler in.


Little man strikin a pose on the floor to be!

YEA! The final result! MUCH Better. We picked out a tan with brown tile and we picked out the larger sized tiles. I think 17x17's.


Awe! How nice!

Here is a picture of one of the new thresholds that Jeff made and stained to match our wood floors.


Didn't he do good? What a nice surprise!
