On the Inside

While a lot happened on the out side of the house, a WHOLE LOT happened on the inside as well. We finished painting the living/dinning/office. We found a light fixture for the living room. And we had a party as we pulled up the nasty carpet to reveal the beautiful unfinished hardwood floors. The pad under the carpet was... not much of anything. We had some discussion if the pieces of pad looked more like corn flakes or gram crackers, but after we swept it all together we decided in we actually had a sand box in our living room.













And in the end it was beautiful!



You're just going to have to trust us that the pictures do not do the blue justice - it really looks great.

But WAIT... There is more!!

We also got paint in the front bed room.


It is amazing what a coat of paint does to make these look clean and new. It is a great feeling to have most of the behind the scenes work done so we can keep moving forward with tasks that at the end of the day you see progress with. We're getting very excited about what's happening in our dear home.

I'm glad your hardwood floor is in good condition. Have fun sanding it! When we did ours it made quite a mess and we looked like we had been antiqued with all the dust in our hair and clothes.
