It feels like anytime we get a chance we are doing some sort of home improvement project. Hopefully when we decide to sell our house others will consider them improvements as well. This past weekend Rocky had just finished a rotation so we had his attention-study free attention. I put him to work right away.
We have this awesome carpet. We consider it luxury carpet - light cream colored, nice and thick, nice and cushy, we love it. But we didn't love it when it got stains. To prevent stains we put down a rug that didn't understand that it was to lay flat on the carpet. If the rug had a goal to not be a rug it succeeded. We somehow got stains under it and I managed to trip on it one too many times. It was the last one too many times that determined it would no longer work as a rug under the table.
With no rug I was scared - really scared of more stains so we ate in our small kitchen, which is more like a hallway - a small hallway.
It wasn't working so we decided to get rid of the carpet and extend the tile into the dining area.

This project was no different from any of the others, it ended up being more work then we anticipated. but everyday I love it more and more.

Ah! I love it! That is just how I was picturing it when you were telling me about it. I'm so impressed. I can't wait to see it in person...and not be worried about spilling food on your luxurious carpet. :)
thank heavens for blogs! I just had a grand ol' time getting reaquainted with you and Rocky and the cutest little 7 month old in the world. James is adorable and I can tell you are a great Mama. I'd totally love some of that candy, but our grocery store is a lot closer than Ohio. Maybe next year :)
Wow, it looks great you guys! What a good idea. I recall my girls spilling some kind of drink on that carpet once . . . when we were eating fajitas:) OH, and you have the cutest little pirate ever!!! What a great costume!
When did you do that? How did you know how to do that? And you ate in your kitchen!?! How did you 3 fit in there!?!
You guys did a fantastic job.....can we hire you to do ours? J/K But we have always wanted this done in ours. I hate the traffic areas on the carpet that get beat to death. I need to find a tile that matches perfectly to ours then I would consider doing that project.
oooolala! i want to come see it up close and personal!!
