Floors are in!

Yesterday the biggest project to date at our house was completed. The floor guys started Monday morning and by Tuesday around 1:00 pm thew beautiful Quickstep light maple laminate floor was fully installed. I will try to add before and after pictures when I get a chance but the place looks so different that I almost feel like we just got a new living room and kitchen. One nice side effect that I had not considered is that since the floors are continuous in the entry hallway, kitchen and living room the space feels even larger as it doesn't feel like separate rooms.

The girls have not seemed to join in our enthusiasm right away, especially Phoebe who keeps on hanging out in our bedroom or laying down in as big a section of the living room rug as possible. She has also not fully adjusted to the fact that she can't turn on a dime on the floors, so she spins her paws whenever she is trying to sprint anywhere. Meanwhile Stella is athletic and light enough that she seems to have no issue whatsoever. Oh, and she also seems to enjoy the clickity-clackity noise her paws make when walking on it.

I promise to post some pix soon!
