Remember when you'd beg to open just one present on Christmas Eve...just one! To hold you over! Well, I got my Christmas Eve present: my floooooorrrsssss!
So let's just refresh your memory.
Before:
During, with our awesome friend who happens to have a talent for installing tile :)
And, the completed floors, with grout:
(ignore the dusty white smudges. they'll get cleaned up tomorrow)
The tile is from a great little store in our town, called Cardoza Flooring. They've got a huge selection, and we ended up with an 18 inch porcelain tile, in a style called Indian Slate, the color is "autumn". I'll admit, when our friend started installing it, we really weren't sure if we liked it. I was okay with it, but I could tell B was freaking out a little bit. We picked out our grout color, "Almond", and once the grout was in today, B was thrilled. It's colder than the old laminate, but I frankly, I don't care. That's why they invented slippers. It's beautiful, its classy, and I can't wait to see what the cabinets look like with it!
Speaking of cabinets, I don't know if I mentioned, they're GETTING INSTALLED TOMORROW!! *ahem* sorry. I went through most of them tonight, making sure there isn't any glaring defects, etc. I also tried to label them matching the layout we got from Lowe's. I numbered them on the layout, then put post-its with the corresponding number. Just to make it a little easier tomorrow.
In a surprise development, my brand new, awesome, amazing, lovely chandelier will (most likely) be getting installed (along with the random sconce, that B keeps calling a scone) tomorrow as well.
And yes, I probably will lay awake all night, waiting to hear the reindeer on the roof and Santa in the chimney.... 'cept it'll be a F-150 in the driveway and my father-in-law through the front door.
