Flooring...

We decided about a month ago to put in new floors. This was a very tough decision because we don't have a lot of money and we wanted to do it right. We are planning on moving sometime early next year and we need our house to look good when we decided to sell it. So we looked into Hard Wood Floors, Tile & Laminate Flooring. We found Laminate Flooring to be the winner! We LOVE it! We are still finishing up little areas here and there, but we are SO glad we decided to do this. It's also nice because of my allergies too :)

OLD
This is what our Living Room used to look like. We painted the walls from that UGLY orange (It doesn't look so bad on the photos, but it was bad in real person).

OLD
This is our Kitchen/Dining Room. This area and the living room is one big open space. They are connected. Once again... Walls were painted.


NEW
This is the Living Room after we put in the new floors and painted.

Hi Sara! The floors look awesome!

I'm so glad you have a blog, and don't worry about how frequently you update it - we all go through busy spells!

HEY SARA!!!!!!!

Yes your floors do look awesome! I can't wait to get our floors done. Upstairs where the kid’s bedrooms are we are putting carpet. And downstairs we will have hardwood floors.

It will probably be easier to keep up with your blog now that people know about it. When you start to get comments you can't help but keep going back to check your blog. And then to keep those comments coming you will have to keep your blog going. But ya don't worry about updating it all the time.

I added you to my favorite blogs list and will be back to visit probably every time I check my blog.

When you move, are you moving out here still????

Hey Guys!
This is so neat to do!! Thanks for introducing me to it :)

Thanks about the floors.

Yes, we are still planning on moving back. The question is what will we do for jobs once we do... Our company that we are with currently is building a casino in Gun Lake, MI, so worse case senario we will transfer there until we find something in IL that we like to do. Steve has been checking with Harrahs Casino boats in IL and they hire slot techs quite often, so I don't think it will be a problem at all to move back home. (I can't wait)

Hey - Question for you...
How did you get your picture on there? I can't seem to figure that one out. It asks for a URL, but when I put an URL in it says it exceeds 68 characters.
