How I Replaced My Kitchen Flooring

This kitchen has been work in process for some time now. We are about to lay down the new flooring but so much had to be done to prepare before we could lay the floor down.

First of all, I decided to paint the walls and cabinets. The walls were a beautiful bright yellow color..YUCK! So we changed the color to beige and did the trim in white. This took some time to cover up. Then I painted the cabinets white to match the trim. I wanted to get all the painting down so I would not mess up the new floors.

The entire kitchen is being redone. We are replacing the countertops and sink. So I want to make sure all the colors are going to match and have the look I am going after. We are purchasing the new flooring tomorrow. We have decided to go with the stick down tiles instead of the linoleum. When talking to the flooring dealer in our area, he told us because our diminsions were 8x15 and to buy linoleum on the roll would come 12x?, so we would be wasting a lot of material. It was actually cheaper for us to purchase the stick down tiles that you would find at Home Depot or Lowe's. Since this house is not for resale value purposes we are going to us the tiles.
