Let there be change

One of the things that we knew that we wanted to change in the new house was the floors. We spent a lot of time figuring out what we wanted to do and what would work best with our life and the space. We decided on tile that looked like wood, and we love it. Clayton and I spent a couple of days moving furniture around the house and putting plastic up around the cabinets to protect the house. The company putting in the tile would have moved the furniture around and put some plastic around but we wanted to minimize the dust on the furniture and make sure the plastic was secured well.

The guys were supposed to start on Monday and the process was supposed to take a week. The Sunday before we were supposed to start the whole town flooded and most of Houston shut down. The process started a day late and actually completed on time. We were stuck upstairs and in our rooms but the plastic pretty much contained the dust to downstairs. We couldn’t use the kitchen all week so we ate out all week. Tess was not happy with the noise and the mess and she wanted the carpet back but after the process was complete she was OK with the change.

Tess and I jetted off to Dallas before the process was finished so we didn’t see the finished product until we got back. The floors are amazing and take up most of the downstairs. The floors make the floor plan more open (if that’s possible) and connects all the rooms together. We love that the floors are tile but look like wood.
