When we saw the tile out of the house this week, I was giddy! Progress was being made and our McDonald’s tile was gone. Let me tell you a little story about this tile…
We sold our old fridge to the person who purchased our last house. So when we moved into this house, we had to get a new fridge.
Side note: This house was built in the 1980’s and had low cabinets above the area for the fridge. Did you know there are literally only two different kinds of refrigerators that now fit in spaces like this? We decided on one and purchased it from Lowe’s since they were having an amazing 4th of July sale. (bonus points – they delivered it the same day!)
Back to the story…the two guys who delivered our fridge brought it in and set it all up without a problem. When one of the guys looked down to our floors, he made an off-hand comment that went like this, “oh great floor! Did you know that McDonald’s uses the same tile in their kitchens?” My reaction on the outside went something like this, “oh, really? That’s funny.” And on the inside, I was thinking something like this, “son of a. Get out of my kitchen, now!”
Fast forward 19 months and this is what the floor looks like now. I am ecstatic! Concrete floors are so much better than McDonald’s tile.

I can not quit laughing the convo between you and the Lowe’s guy. Playing the image in my head!
Laura,
I am Kelsey King’s little sister and I read your blog every day. It’s fun to “know” someone out there in the blog land. I actually do know your brother in real land…? Anyways, I laughed out loud at your thought to the Lowe’s guy. Hilarious! I’m really enjoying your house transformation, very exciting/nerve wracking stuff!
P.S. Go Pokes!
You guys are too funny! I love that you know exactly what I was meaning to say without having to say it in the blog world. (Trying to keep it PG). Glad you all enjoyed the story. I’m enjoying it even more now that its gone!
