Okay, so I finished the travertine floors a couple months back. I was waiting until after I finished putting up the baseboards to post pictures, but that was delayed while I was working on the entertainment center. Well, I'm mostly done with that project (just need to do a few touchups), and I was reminded recently that I hadn't finished my posts on the flooring (thanks Ginger), so here they are, before and after (baseboards only partially completed - rounded corners are a real pain when it comes to mouldings). The before pictures show crappy linoleum in the kitchen and bath, ugly cheapo carpet in the eating area and hallway, and a few useless tiles in the front entry. The natural stone is a deginite upgrade.

One thing I learned in all this is that I really don't enjoy tiling all that much. I could at least contemplate an alternative career doing manual labor, such as woodworking, but definitely not tiling. Good thing I only have a couple more, much smaller, tiling projects to do in the house, and then I can retire.
