Pensacola Kitchen Renovation
Woooooo Hoooooo! Our son just sent us photos from the continuing renovations on our Pensacola house.
Kitchen before:
Kitchen after (we are still waiting for the tile man to put in the new wall tiles)
You can hear nightmare stories about renovations gone awry – but you won’t hear them from me. We found a truly wonderful contractor, David Murphy of Tacoma Construction. He personally checks the quality of the work, gives accurate estimates, and he has good ideas to implement what you want done.
One day, as I was having the house interior painted, I could hear voices rising, and I felt a little concerned. I listened, and what they were discussing, with great heat, was just what exactly a certain verse from the bible meant. π We feel so blessed; they did their work well, and the work was completed in a reasonable time frame. And how did I find this gem? On the internet.

Wow, congrats! It looks great. π
Very nice, the most important place in the house is the kitchen.
Woooo Hoooooo, not quite finished yet. As you can see, the walls, where the old laminate went all the way up to the cupboards, need tiling. And the last big project (you will love this, DV) are the floors. Probably wood, although we are still looking at options.
thats gonna look great with the tiling and the timber floors π
Thanks Skunk. My only worry is what if a hurricane strikes – tile or travertine would clean up OK, but a wood floor could warp or be otherwise ruined by water damage. But then I guess if a hurricane strikes, I will have a lot of worries. *sigh*
hmmm that is a good point. warped floors would indeed be too much of another hassle after a hurricane flood.
perhaps tiles of some sort would be best. atleast is there is flooding then its pretty easy to fix them which you would have to do anyway since the grout wouldnt really keep that much water from getting underneath the tiles.
or if you do go for timber you could opt for something like the parquet stuff thats easy to replace. you know individual pieces. a friend had a fire in his flat so after everything was put out the flooring had to be replaced cos of the water and fire damage….. was a one day job tho so pretty quick.
Yeh. . . I really love wood floors myself, Skunk . . . maybe some workaround combination. . . I don’t know. There is probably no perfect solution. Sometimes I just need to think a while, and then the 80% solution comes, you know?
Great input, and thanks. And weren’t you going to ship me some music to listen to? π
hey have you been to Taal? that indian restaraunt in the place after the palms….. i was there a couple nights ago and its got the most amazing timber flooring on the raised section.
and their shrimp in a whitish sauce was great too π
and yup its on its way, still putting on the finishing touches π
Not yet! We do go to the Tumbleweeks in the same location, or did . . . it just isn’t really Mexican enough for us. We probably need to try the Taal! And I’d love to see the wooden flooring there. And to try the shrimp!
I am guessing you’ve been busy!
