Project Numero Tres - Out with the linoleum, in with the tile!

Who likes linoleum?  If you raised your hand or said, "I do," we probably aren't friends.  :)  I am not a fan of linoleum so I was glad to know that our kitchen was hardwood when we decided to buy this house.  However, the laundry room and pantry off the kitchen was linoleum. 


Yuck.

Luckily, we have some family friends (Brenda and Leslie) that are really good at lying (laying?) tile.  They came over and helped out getting the tile cut and placed.  Unfortunately, Ms. Brenda tore her rotator cuff while they were working...but she's doing ok now.  No surgery required, thankfully!

They were able to come back a week or so later and help us finish up.  After that, all that was left was the grout work.  That's when we enlisted our friend Nick!  He and Trey took care of the grout.

And here's the finished product!



Project Numero Tres - complete!  Special thanks to Kristin and David who provided the tile as a house warming gift!!
