Many of you know that over the past year we have been slowly renovating our 70's era house. Well, today we finished a new floor in the laundry/bathroom and kitchen. Surprisingly the floor went down easily and until you get a really close look, it appears to be the more costly ceramic tile. It is actually the peel and stick vinyl tile. At first, I was a skeptic about it, but after seeing it used in my brother-in-law's home, I thought that it didn't look that bad. (Actual it looked down right good!) So after bring home multiple samples from Lowes and Home Depot, we finally settled on this brownish/gray tile. It looks spectacular in person and I can't wait to have the trim up. (It is off-white.) After this we will decide on new laminate counter-tops. We were kinda thinking a dark, almost black look, but if anyone has any better suggestions I am definitely open to them. The cabinets are the off-white trim color and the walls are a neutral brown.
We have finished most of the home, so I'll periodically add some pics of the remods as they continue. Needless to say, I am grateful for the experiences that I had growing up, helping my parents (mainly Dad) with renovation to our homes. It has certainly helped me to be more than eager to start and finish big construction projects such as these. I am grateful to be able to navigate my way around tools!
Wow, Erin! The floor looks really good. I like it. :) I think you should do a dark countertop but maybe that has some brown and tan in it!
