Floored.

Okay, so remember the living room with that bossy brown carpet? Friday afternoon I pulled up a corner to see what was underneath and found hardwood flooring! So, yesterday we decided to take a chance and pull up the carpet completely, with the opinion that even worn out hardwood flooring is better than old bossy brown carpet.  I recorded the big reveal so you could join us:




What a lovely housewarming gift, wouldn't you say? Ryan spent the entire day peeling up the tackboard strips around the edges. And we will gradually work on pulling up staples - it's not easy. But I was so happy to see what great condition the floors are in! The flooring extended into the hallway and both bedrooms. We left the second bedroom carpeted, but pulled the rest.

I also finished getting all the wallpaper off the walls in our bedroom, and picked out the paint. I have to paint the trim before I can paint the walls, but here's how it's looking so far.




I have one more full day of work before I have to go back to classes, so stay tuned!
