latest home improvement
We took advantage of extra time off this weekend to do some much needed home improvement. This task was supposed to have been completed earlier this summer, but someone got sick with a sinus infection... (no hard feelings, really!) After some general cleaning, we began to move furniture - and lots of books - in order to tear up our badly-stained-no-longer-cream-colored-carpet. We were very relieved to find that the wood under the carpet was in fairly good shape - a few paint marks here and there, but nothing to worry us right now. In a year or so, or when the kids stop spilling, we'll take the time to sand and refinish the wood. For now, though, we've thrown down the area rugs and will live with the wood the way it is. It looks a whole lot better than the carpet did!

It looks nice.
At our house, I've become accustomed to the look of stained carpet. So, your comment about waiting for the kids to bypass the spill stage until sanding the floors makes sense.
We are in the process of painting our bathroom floor since the carpeting had gotten wet too many times. (P.S. carpeting, children, and tubs don't work together in the same room.)
I agree, the wood flooring looks great! (Even with the few stains.) It makes the place look very classy. Good choice. Was Jamie ecstatic about the new flooring, having the job finished, or just happy to be in a pic? lol
Jamie loves to have his picture taken... he was happy with the floors, though. We played with his little bowling set - it works a lot better on the wood than it did on the carpet!
