A few pictures.....

Behind the boys is where our woodpile went to keep the house warm during winter. We had a wood crate to hold the wood. Since then we've replaced it with a new wood holder.


A shot of the walls and floors before:


One of the worst spots. Although you can't even tell this floor had been cleaned & bleached even. I'm sure you can see my reasons for NEEDING new flooring. The paint on the floor was also peeling in places.


Laying the tile


All tiles down!


Grouting....MESSY!


Step one of painting: sealer. This keeps the mold out!


Step two---PAINT! No more ugly blue.


All in all I am VERY happy with the results. The paint in the room is lighter than I wanted it. I actually prefered the color of the wet paint. However- this is a look I can live with!!!! Thank God for tax returns!

We're still moving things around a bit but once the furniture is settled I'll show a picture of the final results!

I love that tile, looks really good. I need to retile our kitchen too. This years tax return went to pay bills though, no toys this time (hopefully next year)
