Travertine!

We got new tile installed this weekend. We left for the lake to meet up with Steve's family. While we had fun chilling at the lake, Dave our tile guy was working 14 hour days to get the new tile installed. This was the last trip for the summer season. Steve's parents go back to the desert this week. We met Scott's fiancee, Sammy. We got up to the house late night and little Gavin was passed out. We were able to transfer him to his little foam bed on the floor and we hung out with the family.

Sammy is super sweet and Gavin had a ball playing with her. Now we have another camera added to the family. I called them the Paparazzi and we are on a reality show. Dave, Scott and Sammy all had their mammoth digital cams out snapping away like Gavin was a celebrity toddler. Snap, snap, snap, snap, click click, click, is all you heard. Steve didn't even get his out. I love it since I have a ton of awesome photos as memories of the weekend. Once I get some of the pics, I will post them here. I don't have to worry about forgetting my camera. Now I know what it is like to have my life on film. haha.

We came home to a new floor. The kitchen, entry and bathroom all now have awesome travertine floors. It is step one of the floor transformation at the Gould house. Next up is the carpet. White carpet does not work well with a toddler. So we are going for a soft brownish color called River rock. That is going to be a serious chore to install since it is basically like moving out but it will look awesome I hope.

We have many phases of upgrading this house.... after carpet, next up.. the fireplace tile and gas insert... then it is a toss up between the cabinets or the countertops but I think I would vote countertops.....then upgrading the bathroom counter and mirrors......there is no recession right??? spend spend spend. haha. It may take another 5 years but eventually I will have the house exactly how I want it.

Dave, our tile guy, is wrapping up the job. He stayed at the house in the guest room all weekend, barely eating and working like a dog. We are very happy with how it turned out. Pics to come shortly.
