Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
lisah - is that Armstrong flooring? If so, how did it get installed?
It is Armstrong flooring! My contractor installed it but I don't think it's that hard to do. He put a sort of a subfloor over the hardwood and then put it down over that...uh...I suck at home improvement stuff so I don't really know. But it was done within the course of a day. I can ask him for more details though and pass them on!
That would be awesome!! I want to do the same black and white in my grandmother's house this summer before we move in.
I'm also ainting the walls the apple green I have now and painting the cabinets white.
Basically, I'm totally copying your kitchen. I am having kitchen envy.
I'm back to needing unspecified-ma today. At some point. (Also nail polish-ma.)

Hah! Well, it's a classic look, I think!
I agree!!
I'm using red and yellow accents and framing some 1940's vintage 5-flavor Life Saver ads from magazines for wall decor. And hopefully scamming a yellow crackle formica dinette set from my mom's friend.
Re the Judge Kozinski story from last week-- some of this has been floating around the web, but this letter from the Judge's wife collects a lot of the charges against the misleading initial LA Times story.
ooh, Aims, that sounds super cheery and bright!
Lisah, I am also envying you your kitchen - it's so bright! I love the green against the white cabinets and black and white floor ... and all those outlets ... sigh.

Aims, didn't you do your living room in LA a few years ago in similar colors? It was so lovely.
Aims, I just talked to my contractor friend and he offered to lend you his vinyl tile cutter (aka that guillotine thingy). I explained how you were not local but, see how awesome he is?! And he offered to fix my roof where it seems to have started leaking again. thank god. that was causing me mucho anxiety.
Anyway, with the Armstrong floor he put down a 1/4 inch plywood underlay floor. He highly recommended using the vinyl tile cutter but they are kind of expensive. He thought you'd probably be able to rent one though. And the tile goes down with a vinyl tile adhesive that is sold right in the same aisle as the tile.
