This Old House is looking fabulous!!! Andy, from Horton Floor Covering, has been down at the house working the past 2 days getting my tile installed in the mudroom, kitchen, and bathroom. I went into the store wanting to find a floor that would match my tin and I the perfect match! It looks fantastic!!

This past weekend I got my wood floors sanded with the help of my neighbor, Page Mitteness. She is a wiz at all this woodwork stuff and I couldn't have done it without her. I will warn you though, sanding wood floors is alot of work!! So think twice...or three times before doing it yourself. I made a Lowe's run on Saturday and got my Floor Finish but I just haven't put it on yet. Hopefully this weekend. I still have some touch ups and a small amount of sanding left. Even though it was a pain in the butt and dirty, I think the floors look good for being 100 years old.

I also got my lights ordered for above my kitchen sink. I ordered them from the same gal that made my porch lights. Her company website is www.thelampgoods.com. Check it out if you are looking for new light fixtures. The lights look outstanding. I wanted unique and I got unique!

Travis will be back tomorrow putting on the baseboard in the kitchen and bathroom. He will also be putting tin on my island and in my mudroom, installing my toilet and dishwasher, plus a few other things that you will have to wait and see.
Thanks for reading and have a great rest of the week!!
