there’s no turning back now!

And I’m freaking out!!

We finally made a tile decision over the weekend.  We ended up going with something that’s sort of a grayish, brownish and maybe even a slight hint of greenish (if you look in last week’s picture, it’s on the very top right, although the colors look different in our kitchen).  Don’t tell Jason, but I’m having doubts again.  I don’t think he’s keen on taking 22 boxes of tile back, so I’m going to give it a couple of days to see it in different light.  Even if I don’t love it, I think it does look *okay* and honestly I’m not sure I care enough to start the decision process all over again.  So we’ll see.

After we got the kids to bed, Jason started ripping up the vinyl floors and I started to panic.  OMG, we’re doing this!  We can’t change our minds now!

I know in the end we’ll be glad we did it, but right now I’m wondering why we thought it was worth the chaos we’ll have to live in for the next… well, however many weeks it takes to scrape the adhesive off the concrete floor.  ;-P

Jason started ripping everything up so fast, I didn’t have a chance to get before shots (although I have a couple of decent pictures of the kitchen that I took a couple of years ago when we thought we were putting it on the market so I’ll dig those up later), but I did grab the camera and get a couple of the lovely concrete slab and adhesive.  These pictures are poor quality, but you get the idea…

Next on our decision list:  carpet!  I brought home a sample board of frieze, want to get that decision made ASAP so we can get the ball rolling on that as well.
