My new floors!

So Adam really worked his butt off on our floors and they look awesome!!  First we chose the slate which is awesome!  We saw this on a home show we were watching.  They used the tile to look like and area rug  in the center of the hallway and i really liked it. So we found some slate we liked and tried to match the wood color with colors in the slate. We had a hard time choosing the color but i think we found the perfect one.  Adam hated the color when we bought the can but i really liked it.  I wasn't home when he started staining the floor so when i got home he met me at the door with a sad face and said that the stain was awful and i was going to hate it. :)  He scared me. But i love it!  We just have some little things left to do like baseboards and painting the built in shelves. And some caulking that goes between the slate and the wood. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  And maybe after we pay off all of our boys medical bills (never)  we will get some new furniture to go with the beautiful floor.  Considering i have had this couch for almost 14 years! UGH!!!  But i love my floors. :)
