A New Floor

This is what was going on at my house today . . .

Yup, that´s my concrete floor going down! Isn´t it beautiful? :D There are a lot of things that really bug me about my house, but I´m so relieved that I will actually have a proper, concrete floor that I can sweep. (ok, I´ll mention one thing. See those windows. See how high they are? I DID NOT want them like that! I wanted those two in the corner to be a breakfast nook. But the builder wouldn´t listen to me. He thinks they look better like this. We have had a major problem with builders deciding they know better how MY house should look.)

It´s all drying tonight and if we have to go to the bathroom, well, we have to walk through wet concrete! But it will be all walkable tomorrow morning and I´m sure Dorian will figure out all kinds of mischief to get up to in his new giant play area!

We still need to plaster two walls, put in windows and a door, of course and tile the floor. I´m probably going to ask my readers for some design help in a week or two because I am completely undecided about how to do my kitchen! I know the style I want, I just can´t figure out the layout! So, I´m thinking of maybe holding a contest for the best design idea . . . gotta think a bit more. Any ideas on what you guys would like as a prize?
