I’ll start off by saying that my husband has strictly forbidden my use of power tools. I’ve had too many accidents with staple guns in my past – I’m working on that. I’m trying to display exemplary tool-belt diva behavior on the off chance that maybe someday I’ll get to use a nail gun. I…

Pfft. Just like that, my excitement is gone! I do NOT care if these are from the 60’s. They will be gone gone gone.

Thanks Kate. They are fun!

Have fun! LOL

They don’t really look like valuable tiles and even if they were, simply because they belong in the past doesn’t make them good to look at. Get ’em out of there and put something worth stepping on!
