Last Friday late in the afternoon, I got a call from Maribeth wanting to know why I hadn't called her. I knew that there must have been a big change at the house. She was eagerly waiting for my phone call and I had been too busy to go by the house so I didn't know to call her. When I finally got there, after working late and going to a six year old's birthday party, I got to see what she was talking about. We have color! At least a first coating of color on the whole house.
Then on Sunday, after Brian got back in town from his big golf trip, we discovered that the wood floors had been installed. It's really amazing how much the house can change in two days.
Below is our dining room, a familiar red to anyone who has ever dined in our home. I'm so ready to see our furniture and curtains and pictures in here. Brian is perhaps happier than anyone that this room has been painted. For the most part, he doesn't mind painting, but the red dining room in our last house about made him decide that it was worth every penny to have a professional paint a red room.
Below is Caroline posing in her room. She loves pink. This summer she had asked for her new room to be painted "rainbow." Thankfully, she forgot that was what she had asked for.
Brian and the children posing by the outdoor fireplace. Brian can't wait for this winter so he can chop wood and build a big fire. This is the second fireplace we've had in this spot. The first one just wouldn't hold a big enough fire, so we had to change it out for a bigger model.
Below is the upstairs landing. Wood flooring was installed on Sunday. On Saturday, Grandmother Jo bought us a really pretty rug at a yard sale to be used in this area.
And here is our living room with the wood floor installed. Now, we just need some sanding, staining and poly and we'll be ready for a dance party.
