Floor Picking...

My mom and I went today to decide on what flooring options we have. What we really want is real hardwood...you know the stuff that gets nailed and every few years you have to sand and refinish. However, right now on our budget that is NOT even an option. Over $3000.00 just to do the kitchen and little living room. Ryan said if he laid tile it was not ever coming up, so we really do not want that. So we have decided that for now we will do the kitchen in vinyl. Nowadays, it actually looks really good! And in a few years when we can afford our wood floor it will be very easy to pull up. We brought a few books home and I am so glad we did. I sat down with all my samples of the ones I liked, both carpet and vinyl. I went through them all and decided which ones I liked the best and then showed Ryan when he got home. He liked them all that I had chosen. What can I say great minds think alike! We decided we should take our samples down to the house to see what they would look like in our lighting. My choices were confirmed...

As we were walking out the door I thought we should see what the vinyl looks like with our cabinets. I am so glad that we did...the vinyl I liked the best looked AWFUL with our cabinets! Even my dad said it looked bad, which means it looks horrible! So, we decided on another few.... now we just need to decide which one we like better...
