Our First House!

That's really nice-looking! I love Marmoleum. How in the world did you manage to score the remnants?

Facebook Marketplace. We scored a full roll of a marbled beige, 2/3rds of the color you see, and the remnants I used. All for about $200. The full rolls weighs 500lbs!

The better floor is a huge improvement. It looks nice with the warm wall color, too.

Thank you! We are trying to make the space function a bit better. I’ve decided to repurpose some of the hardware from around the house - hooks, brackets, etc., found in closets and the redone bathroom. We found some really cool “trousers” hanger made by the Practical Novelty Co., late 1800s.

That is really cool and I hope you do something with it! Gotta love those old ads: "It's Quicker than Carelessness."

That is incredible! I think it cost about $1300 to install the Marmoleum in our kitchen from the dealer. I'm jealous. I'd love to put it in the laundry room in my reno house.

Want to sell some of it? I think I know someone who could bring it to me the next time he goes to Mobile. Hey, James!

I'm going down to Mobile on the weekend of March 13th. I could pick up some linoleum for you in New Jersey if you want.

Yes, I saw that! I originally thought they were newer, but this confirms it.

Thanks for the kind words, we are happy with how it turned out! Jess is very happy not to have to wear shoes to do the laundry anymore lol.

Haha, we have grand plans for it otherwise we would. But I’ll keep you in mind if they change.

Bonnie, looks like you're going to have to find yourself some black-market linoleum.
