Done...Finally!


We decided to pull up the carpet in the front room and hallway this past weekend. After 7 years and the three older kids, it was just NOT holding up. It looked terrible. (It was kind of nasty to see all the places where something liquid had been spilt and left a wet mark on the subfloor!)
These are the "before" pictures.




Here are the pictures of the new floor. We went with a laminate wood floor...for the cost and durability. It took us two nights to put the floor in and everything is done today, except the closet! It is absolutely beautiful. I love this new floor. The kids think is fun to slide all over the floor.




here is the master at around 1:00 am after finishing...finally!
This is the front room all done. We decided to get new furniture in there as well. We got these cheap (as in inexpensive) carpet rugs with a gift card that we had from the flooring store. The furniture we picked out weeks ago. When we got it all in the chairs are a LOT bigger than they seemed in the store.


Anyway....it's definitely different than what we had before. I love the furniture, but still getting used to the new arrangement. Our guests last night said it felt a little cramped...not sure how I feel about that. You will just have to come and visit and give us your opinion.

"Oh, you feel cramped? Maybe you can take yourself outside so you don`t feel so cramped."

But you are way too kind for a comment like that...

Nice looking place!!
