"Old" house renovations

I know what you're thinking: "More crap about renovations? Geez!"

Well, tough patootie if you don't like it! This is my blog, and this is the level of boredom to which my life has sunk, so if you read this you're along for the ride. :)

Anywho... as we're doing the complete remodeling of our soon-to-be new house, we're taking care of a few things in our current home to get it ready to be put on the market. We're trying not to do too much, as we've been told it's not worth the effort. Apparently, a few flaws let people find reasons to haggle and that can actually help the sale process.

One of the things we didn't like at all was the kitchen floor. Much of the kitchen has been improved since we bought this house (new stove, new sink, new dishwasher), but the floor was just worn out. One part hardwood (that used to extend into the adjoining room) and one part ceramic tile, it all looked waaaaaaaaay past its prime.

So we got some really nice Duraceramic tile (a really nice looking tile that is a stone composite--holds up better than true ceramic (less chance of chipping) but isn't as cold or hard under foot), and it was installed today. So, without further delay, I present to you...

...the old floor...



...and the new floor...
