our home just got cosier!

So after 2 years of cement screeding flooring, we decided to call it quits and change our flooring. I grant you it looks great in photos, but soon you'll tire of that perpetual sandy feel. And having a puppy was a complete nightmare cos the cement absorbs any liquid faster than you can say 'McDonald', which thereafter leaves a mark.. so go figure.

AFTER

black will be perfect but a pity Jeremiah does not carry black, plus it shows up dirt and fur very well so... :(

i still got a jolt when i came home earlier and saw the dark brown laminate from outside. When i switched on the light, it was such a cosy sight! I grew up in a house floored in marble so i dont exactly appreciate the chill of it.. year-end was a torture :S. Well laminate.. that's different! I use a linseed solution (mopping) just for laminate and it clears any stickiness instantly and adds protection. The 2 gals had better behave!

Now i'm wondering if we should paint our walls.... the cool slate looks a tad off...

Our house needs some nice colorful rugs and carpets. Jeremiah was admiring our pad and asked who designed our house. We did! Our joint efforts *beams* though i secretly think it's my chandelier.. hehe. Zack said his new toy will overshadow my chandelier. We'll see about that.. *smirk*

Okie i gotta mop my new floor before the 2 gals are back! They'll love the laminate. I've never liked them to lie on cement too much cos of the chill.. not good for their little bones.
