House Renovations

As promised, here are some pictures of our recent home updates.  We put in laminate flooring.

Here is an old picture, but it shows you what the family room used to look like:



Here it is in progress:



Note the new wall color, too.

Here's the "dining" room (AKA the office), in progress:


Here's how we lived for that week:



This is the hallway, torn up:



Okay, now some AFTER pictures!



Sarah, sliding:


Pretty girls!



This is the living room, torn apart:


(including cats who are milling about, waiting for their nightly kitty treats)


This is how we've lived this past week or so:


(On the bright side, I am going through stuff and getting rid of some things. I am also recording all of my books into an Excel file.  I'm at 429 so far, and that's just the living room and my bedroom.)

And, here's the living room this morning:


And with Meg, who has been neurotic about this whole process and seems to miss the carpet a great deal:



I have pics of the hallway, but I haven't uploaded them yet.  It looks great, though!  A huge thank you to Lee, Craig, and my dad for their hard work!  And a big thank you to our friends, Brian, Sonya, and their kids, for helping us move stuff, paint, etc.

I love it! I wish I could have been around to help you the way you helped me! You're going to love your new environment... or should I say, as they do in HGTV, "space"! It looks great!

Just wanted to say Hi...and that your new floor looks really nice. We have tile and I hate it...would love to do "wood" flooring and/or carpet. I enjoyed all the science badges...we aren't big into the science experiments right now, but some of those do sound interesting :-) And sorry to hear about your daughter's broken arm...pray that she will heal quickly. My daughter would like her cast - lime green - very cool! Anyway - I'm just going around to friends blogs this afternoon and leaving random comments...have a great day!
