New Floors and a Sign!

We are well on our way to selling this house! Our new floors are in (why didn't we do them sooner?) and we actually have a 'For Sale' sign in our front yard. Nobody warned me about all the work that goes into selling a house. This makes buying a house look super easy!!!!! Most of the work is due to the fact that we live in an old home (circa 1941). Old doors, old windows, rotted wood, chipping paint, cracked tile floors -- all these things needed to be repaired before we put it on the market. That's just half the work. The other half is keeping this house clean with a 2 year old and a dog. I vacuum daily and wipe tiny little hand prints off the door daily. Just hoping it pays off in the end! We shall see so stay tuned to the saga of selling our house! Here are a couple pics to re-cap the floors:

Lovely linoleum we found after ripping out tile

Goodbye old tile!

Hello new tile!

New Tile

The new tile appears a little brighter/whiter because of the dust and grout. We had to spend a couple days scrubbing it off = fun! But well worth it because our floors aren't slippery anymore, the tiles don't rock, and there are no cracks!
