We are laying down some linoleum in front of our front door before we get our new carpet installed in a few weeks. We (and when I say we, I mean Chris because I just sit there and watch and pretend like I'm helping.) realized that the linoleum would be lower then the carpet, so we had to put off laying it down until we could get some boards to put under it for some height..... hence why this is what my front door currently looks like until further notice. :)
