New Year, New Floor, New House!











It's a new year and my sweet husband has taken on the project of ripping out all our carpeting and replacing it with laminate. It has been quite a project that has had to take place in phases. Fortunately, his brother Chris made a special trip (all the way from Chicago!) to help lay it all out and make all the special cuts. Thank you Chris for your generosity and letting us crack the whip on you! We were also richly blessed by friends loaning us an array of tools-thank you you know who you are! Most of all, I really want to thank Nick for taking this on. It was no small project as he had to bust tile up, rip carpet up, and cut and lay all the new pieces as well as figure out a 6-7 inch trim in our living room (where the previous owner had carpeted the bottom portion side walls!), and finally add beautifully done transitions into our step down living room space. I told some friends it was like moving in that we also had to pack up our living room and move out all the furniture which is no small potatoes- thank you Mitch and David for your help with this! It turned out gorgeous! I couldn't be more happy! The space included our front foyer, our hallway, and our living room. It really feels like a brand new house. See for your self. If you aren't in to pictures, you need to scroll down! There are before and after and even some during shots!
