Kitchen Floor Update!

So for Christmas our present from my parents was a new floor in the kitchen. It was much overdue that we needed to change out the floor in that room. I have HATED the one in there since the day I moved in almost 3 years ago. The pattern was an interesting choice and the top layer had worn off probably 25 years ago so everything stuck to it and it was impossible to clean.

On top of gifting us a new floor, my mom (because she the DIY Queen), spent 3 whole days tearing up the only floor, scraping the glue, and laying the new floor for us!! It’s looks great, seriously 1000x’s better then before. Every time Matt or I go in the kitchen we have to announce how much better the kitchen looks!!

In order for her to do this we had to move all the appliances out of the room. That was Matt and I’s contribution. We ended up moving our fridge into the hall way, which made for an interesting few day having to go into the hallway to get food when we were hungry. The alternative though was to put it in our storage room outside and we were not ok with the idea of having to go outside every time we needed something.

Here’s a little play by play of the floor process:

Look how dirty and gross the old floor looks!!

Finished and Beautiful!!

We’ve actually done the most work to the kitchen since moving in. About two years ago we (my Mom) sanded and refinished our cabinets. Then we (my Dad) changed out the light over the kitchen sink and added a ceiling fan and light. We also added blinds in the kitchen window and added a new valance above them. Next up will be to do something to help out that oh so attractive wood paneling you see, new counter tops as some point and a new fridge. We’ve updated all the appliances except the fridge, as you can see. In between all that we’re gonna replace that ugly door also. 
So to give you all a little perspective here’s a comparison of the kitchen when I bought the house and now:
