Things are in full swing at the home front, and our most recent check off the list was the flooring in our downstairs bar area! You may recall that when we moved in, the bar area looked like this...
I must say, I kinda miss that minty green brick - NOT! Although this isn't the best picture of it, you can see how the floor behind the bar looked per-renovation. Also notice that pre-reno there was carpeting on the side of the bar where the stools would go. In our opinion that's a big no-no if you ever really want to use that bar. Between the stools being shaky on carpet, and the possibility of red wine or drinks spilling onto cream carpet, we both agree that whoever thought that up must not have had any friends to invite over for a party!
I recently posted a bar update, and we showed you the demo work that was taking place by the bar...
The second picture shows you what the floor looked like behind the bar after we removed the old tile and before the new flooring went down. So now let's get to the good part of this post - the new flooring! Here are a few pictures of how it turned out...

We love how it turned out!! It looks even better than we thought it might. The wood-look tile was the perfect choice for this space. We're planning to also use the same tile along our backdoor in this same room. Honestly, we're so thrilled with this tile that is might just wind up going in another room or two down the road... we'll see.
Although we don't have any pictures to share just yet, we did put in the order for our bar counter top. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be able to snap a few pics and post those for you to check out as well. There's still a lot to do to this space before we can deem it "finished," but we're happy with the progress so far.
That's it for now!
