KITCHEN UPDATES 2011

Our ceramic tile in the kitchen has been really tough on our legs and, after battling the grout situation for some time now, we decided to replace the floor with a laminate flooring that snaps together with a tongue and groove system.  It's a reddish slate and is lovely.  Both sons - I'm so proud of them - worked on it together.  A good team!  And I managed to stay cool.  Such a nice job.  You can see that we removed the half wall of dark paneling with chair rail and have been whittling away at taking down the wallpaper.  (That's a job and a HALF!)  Bernie and Matt say NO MORE WALLPAPER so paint it will be.  The cupboard paint job has held up well; that will remain the same.  We need to decide on a wall color.
