And the awesome floor (which is nearly identical to the floor I grew up with). Not gonna lie, I asked the flooring people if there were any retro pattern floor options out there. Sadly, no there isn’t. AND I’m not the first person to ask!

They are demo-ing as I type. As of noon today everything is torn out. We are extending the kitchen a bit (pushing back the exterior door) so that the kitchen is a complete rectangle. It’s a beautiful sunny (but cold) day – and perfect for a new start!
