Well, sort of. Good news is that the stairs are now back in commission. Old carpet is all off, new risers put on, and new treads stained and installed. And it looks fabulous!!!!!!!! Mike really has outdone himself on this project. 🙂 However, we still need to go back and touch up all the white paint and cover up stain spots. Not to mention we now have a lovely unfinished gap between the top step and the old carpet in the hallway – yuck! Hallway is next!

Here are some update pictures {I apologize for the quality – I was just taking quick pictures with our little point-n-shoot.}. The laying begins… The progress we had made as of 9 PM Sunday night.

We are starting in the living room and then once we are are finished there we will move on to the office. So this is what our living …
New Floors
Mike and I have been mulling over new hardwoods for the downstairs basically since we moved in. Nothing ever made us jump out of our seat and called to us “Buy me!”. But the other day this flooring, I’m pretty sure, called out to me through my computer screen. So I proposed it to my husband and he said we should go look at it. On down to Lumber Liquidators we went this evening. Found out that it is on clearance (hence the cheap price) and they didn’t have much left! There weren’t any ifs ands or buts – we …
