Everything old is new again

So when Eleanor first went to Lowes and ordered the tile for the now-laid new kitchen floor, I never saw exactly what she'd picked out.

"Oh, it's Armstrong commercial tile, [various specifications in essentially foreign language]- you know, pretty much the same one we had installed in our last house."

No recollection whatsoever of that. It's going on 18 years since we moved from there, and I had memories of something boxy and orange that are coming from gods-know-where.  Fortunately, we took a LOT of pictures back in the day. Including this one:



Yup. Something DOES compare 2U, floor:



Same tile. Same hutch. Same kid. Different tail, though.

What a lovely, warm kitchen you have. Looks like a nice place to hang out and unwind from the work day.

You have counters!

I have never had counters. This is what i get for living in Victorian buildings.

Sad to say, I am not seeing kid (or grown person) in the second picture!

Wow. That kitchen is beautiful! It makes me want to reorganize my living space. The little drawers under the butcher-block island are so pretty.
