Hardwood floors

Most of my house had new carpet and tile, but the kitchen and utility room still had really old linoleum (with pastel-colored flowers!). My plan all along was to put hardwood floors in the kitchen, but I also decided to pull up the carpet in the dining room and extend the hardwood into that room. It seemed more practical to have hardwood in the dining room since it's my only eating area and hardwoods will stay cleaner. Dad and I had never actually laid hardwood floors, but we tackled it by ourselves anyway. It was a long, sticky job, but I love the floors and think they're beautiful!

In these pictures you can also see my new countertops! I love those too!
