G is for......


Gosh...griping...geek...golly... I tell you, well I can't tell you how many pictures I have taken of grapes...None were good, with flash/w/o flash..ugh..then I was waiting for my gardenias to bloom...nope not happening yet (with my luck next week! grr)...green yarn..well could do, only have a tiny little bit..then tonite on the way to pick up my son from school on my last official day of vacation...it finally dawned on me...Like DUH!!

GROUT!!

Watching him put this on last nite, my mouth was watering, drooling looking at all that chocolately goodness I couldn't even touch! The whole floor looked like one big candy bar. Today it has dried a lighter shade which we love, last nite it was darker and oh so yummy looking (well it still is LOL!) (sorry for the blurry pic on the right..)

Oh yeah, you guys wanted to see the floor...sorry!

BEFORE!
Empty kitchen=animals take control! You see our lazy dog and the cat about to pounce on her!

AFTER!

Darned cat, always gotta be in the pics lately! I love it, the colors work so well with the woodwork, which after 16 yrs here, needs a little TLC too...all in good time. (hehe I do miss my squeaky floor..well kind of :)

So next weekend will be the sealing of the grout and we can move heavy items back in. This was a good time to clean out the pantry and now I have no excuse to re-organize as I have next week to do so..well gotta go back to work..sniff..but like I said before, I'll probably accomplish more anyways. :)

Oh, that looks so nice! Yay new kitchen floors! It must be hell in the meantime though. Ugh. Renovation. But does that mean you get to eat out every night? Oh the possibilities.

Love it, love it, love it!!! And it's always such a relief to be in the homestretch of a renovation project. :)

Beautiful new floor. I'm impresses you guys did it yourself. Love your imagination....you equated a new floor and grout with chocolaty goodness.

That G is also for Gorgeous! I am so jealous of that floor. My kitchen floor is way worse than your "before" pic. Great job.
