The other reason for my parents' visit was to help wrangle the girls while we got new floors! I've been waiting six years to replace the 20-year-old carpet and warped kitchen floor and we finally got around to it. Here's a before shot my mom took of the living room.
During. It was quite a mess! Luckily the weather was nice so we could spend most of the time outside and our master bedroom is big enough that we could hang out in there as well.
It took longer than expected due to some serious dips and hollows in the cement floor. They had to wait for the leveling patches to dry before they could lay the floor in the kitchen.
Lunch among the construction. It was nice to not have to wipe up the floors for a couple of meals! We also ate out a few times since the kitchen was a little tough to navigate.
After, it took almost five full days. So much better! We absolutely love the new floors but did have to get some play mats for the girls (and us) to sit on. Vinyl is not as soft as carpet!
All of the floors in the living room, kitchen, and laundry room now match. Maybe next year we'll get to the bedrooms and master bath.
