Last night we had our good friends Jason and Janeen over for dinner. As always there was a lot of laughing involved, but none so much as when Janeen first stepped into our main bathroom. Now - we realized when we bought the place that this would be a redo area (Eric really likes plumbing and is excited to get some practice), but most people when they see the flesh colored tub, brown tile, and butterfly wallpaper tactfully comment on how big it is or make DIY suggestions on how to cover up the tile. No one has just busted up laughing. The best part was that whenever she walked past it she'd chuckle (I think she thought it was to herself) and at one point she left in the middle of a conversation just to go look again. I could hear her chortling halfway across the house.
After J & J left, we were too wound up to go to bed so we got out our knives and pliers and ripped up the carpet in both the living and dining rooms. This morning we both woke up with sore hands (poor Eric has a blister) but to a completely new house! It's lovely! Goodbye deep shag! Goodbye soul-sucking green!
Check out our beautiful new floors!!
(Tack strip removal and refinishing coming soon)
