Day 10 of the Remodel

Long day for the contractors today.  They were still working when I got home, so Sarah and I took Ellie for dinner and picked up Davey from my parents.  They pretty much finished all the wood flooring.  Only work that remains is to finish the pantry, inside the closet, as well as replacing the base boards.  We also picked our grout colors for the back splash and kitchen tile floor.

Ellie slipped on the new floor.

She wanted to prove she could walk across it.

Kitchen samples

Here are some of the options we decided on for the new kitchen.  The only thing missing is the porcelain tile that is going in the kitchen and bathroom (it looks like a natural stone), and the granite we are using.  

I really like using prosource (www.prosourcefloors.com) so far.  They made finding everything we wanted really easy, and they have flooring (wood/tile/carpet), cabinets, backsplash materials, countertops, and more all in one show floor.  It was laid out really well, and easy to browse.  So for now, high marks in the shopping experience.  I'll update this later when I get the products, and meet with my designer to lay out the cabinet plan.

We are using the taupe glass in the back splash with the tile.

We are using this tile, the lighter one for the back splash.
