Some floor progress

Well, we started the floors this week and we are almost finished! It has gone really well. No fights, no tears, no temper tantrums, it must be a success!!

Here are the before pictures (of the floors, I'll show the before of the kitchen later)

The first thing we had to was fill in that big split in the floor. We trimmed the sides to make them even. Next we cut to fit sections of a peel and stick vinyl tile.
We secured all the edges with the staple gun. Not sure if this is the "proper" way to do it, but it worked! (Sorry I didn't take more pics, I'm new at this)

Next we snapped a chalked line and laid the starter row.

Hubby continued laying the strips in rows, staggering the joints. He'd lay a few, then roll them with the rolling pin. I would recommend buying a cheap rolling pin for this, as it will get glue on it!

Hope you've enjoyed the progress! I'll reveal the rest soon!
