Right before Dave left, he pulled up the last of the carpet in the house. Although there weren’t hardwood floors underneath the carpet in the den, it had gotten extremely dusty during all the construction and simply had to go.
Being the clean freak she is, my mom offered to buy me an area rug if I’d just consent to ripping the dusty carpet out (which at first I was opposed to). With this offer in place, I couldn’t say no. So out went the carpet.
Underneath the carpet lived a long-hidden gem of a linoleum tile floor that resembles terrazzo. See for yourself:
While the long range plan is to eventually lay ceramic tile in the kitchen and den, I am out of money in the short run, so I’m going to be living with my linoleum floors for now.
