At least Ms. Barton did not toss the vinyl out.
Woman Turns Cheating Ex-Husband’s Vinyl Records Into Her Kitchen Floor

A mum-of-three has taken out her revenge on her cheating ex-husband through a means which will make record collectors up and down the country wince in agony.
Sonia Barton, 47, from Belper in Derbyshire, was keen to jazz up her lackluster kitchen, adding a bit of color and individuality to the design.
The children’s entertainer saw the perfect opportunity to transform her kitchen floor after eyeing up her ex-husband’s record collection, and took more than a bit of musical inspiration.
Sonia decided to make the vinyl records – which included Dire Straits, Jets Yazz, Hands Up, Showaddywaddy and Paper Lace – part of the floor, using them as striking decorating materials.
She has spent an estimated £2,500 ($3,280.78 United States Dollar) on revamping her kitchen, transforming it into a colorful – and slightly vengeful – culinary wonderland. The most costly part of the decorating project apparently involved sourcing 5,000 miniature flower buttons that make up part of the floor.
Luckily, the time and money has paid off, with the revenge floor reportedly giving Sonia daily doses of joy:
Some of them are my ex-husband’s. It amuses me, it makes me laugh every time I walk in the kitchen and see them.
Each section is bordered by small tiles because I didn’t want to do it all in one go so I could still use my kitchen.
Sonia kicked the project off in October 2018 after opting for a complete overhaul to her kitchen, installing a new floor, worktops, doors, drawers, kick-board and architrave in the process.
Alongside other items, she chose to include some vinyl from her ex-husband’s collection, making each part of the floor in small stages so she could carry on using her kitchen.
It's always important to know what you don't know.
