Kitchen floor is DONE!

It was a long weekend, but we finally managed to complete our kitchen floors. Up until Friday we spent our time sweeping, scrubbing, sanding and vacuuming to get the floors ready to be painted.
On Friday, my mom and I had about half of the floor painted.

On Saturday we cleared out the rest of the kitchen, and I worked on scrubbing all of the plaster off of the floors and sanding down some of the knots I'd filled with wood filler. By the evening the entire floor had two coats of paint.



This morning my mom came over and we started tracing out the squares. We made perfect squares, and then connected the corners diagonally to get diamonds.


From there, I started taping each diamond...one by one...


Until, hours later, the entire room was done.


Then Josh and I both started painting in the diamonds...

and Ta Da!

We're very happy with the results. Of course, I can hardly stand upright after spending so much time on the floor, but it was worth it. It's nice and bold and the room is completely full of color, which I love! Later this week we will FINALLY have kitchen cabinets delivered. Hallelujah!

    The floor looks great, considering they are squares ;) Can't wait to see the house, especially the kitchen next time I'm back.
