New Kitchen Floor

As the title says we have a new kitchen floor. The flooring has been sitting in our house since last June just waiting to be put it. It's nice to finally have it installed, and man does it update our kitchen.

This is what it looked like before we painted the kitchen in the beginning of November of last year. Including my Great Aunt's curtains. At this point we had replaced their table with something that fits us, as well as the big ugly brass knobs on the cabinets. I wish I would have taken pictures before the knobs so you can see how big of a difference just changing knobs can be

This is the in between stage. We have the painting done. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture before we started pulling the carpet up. Underneath the carpet and linoleum we found an older linoleum which we believe runs under the carpet in the living room as well. That's the rock looking linoleum 2 pictures down

The newer linoleum had been put on top of a sheet of plywood. Half of the cabinets where also on top of the new linoleum so we had to cut it out from around some of the cabinets since we weren't planning on pulling cabinets out. My dad and brother were kind enough to help us. My brother was at our house 17 hours the working on it with us the day we did it.

This is what it looks like now after painting the walls and ceiling, and putting in the new flooring. I love it so much more now. 

It's wonderful having the kitchen finally feel like it's our's. In the last picture you can see the pot rack my MIL gave me for Christmas. It freed up a whole cupboard, which is definitely needed in this little space. And the continuous floor makes the room seem much bigger!
