If I were a pop star, my name would be:

Linoleum!!

I think my projects may be getting to me ... either that or the heavy-duty cleaning supplies necessary to prepare the floor are making me a bit loopy.

Here's a quick update on the project that will not die, aka the re-flooring of the Laundry room. The Linoleum is bought, and cut, and laying in place in the room now (after what seems like weeks of effort). Now all that remains is to glue it down to the existing floor!

The new floor and the old floor!
