Downstairs project

Can I just say this has been a crazy week or two.  We decided to pull out all the carpet and tile from our downstairs except in Ciera's new room and replace it with new tile.  We were wanting to do wood but that was a little out of our price range and I didn't think it would hold up well with the kids.  But then we found this really cool tile that looks like wood but is actually tile!  So we decided to go with it.  Luke started demolition last weekend and has worked on the tile pretty much every day since.  We are about half way done with just the small hall way and bathroom to finish and then on to the grout!!
Here is the project so far....

After demo, yes everything in my kitchen is a mess!!  My job for the next three days is taking everything out of cabinets and washing EVERYTHING!  Yeah sounds like fun! lol

Front hallway and bathroom

Then the tiling began last Tues! We are thankful for the hands that have been helping us! (Thomas, Papa Frank, and Colby)

Luke's dad, Frank, helping to start the pattern

Thomas the mud man!

Not bad for day 1 :)

The kitchen so far, yes still dirty, that will change this week!! :)

Living room and front entry

Living and dining room!

I just can't wait to get it done and get our furniture back in place to see what the finished look will look like!!

And hopefully then I can post pictures of Ciera's room now that it is pretty much done too except all the furniture in there :)  

We did have a leak from this front bathroom into Ciera's room which we had to rip up the carpet and get the carpet dried fast enough to be able to save it, which we did, although the bookshelf that I just bought wasn't savable, UGH!! 

I will post finished pictures when we get it done :)
