Disclaimer: I say we but Rich is doing 90% of the work right now. He is retired and has the time; I work and am gone from home 10 hours a day.
The first thing we decided to tackle was taking the old, worn out carpeting out of the bedrooms upstairs.
I had suspected that there might be hardwood floors underneath and I was right. What was surprising was what good shape they were in!
This is the first and smallest bedroom we worked on. I didn't get any before pictures but this is after we painted and put new shoe molding on. All we did to the floor is clean it and shine it up some. It's far from perfect but I think it's good enough!
Then next room was the second largest room. It had a pink carpet which Rich pulled up one day.
Then we took old wallpaper down and Rich had to fix a few areas of the walls that were bad.
We took two days to paint and then we cleaned the floor and shined it up. This is my favorite room!
The rugs are just two pieces of carpet remnant that we had sitting in the basement from when we had carpeting done in the family room about 12 years ago! They are good enough!
We are currently in the process of working on the master bedroom. The carpet is up and the floor is a little rough in spots.
I'll do a post when we are done with the room!
Here's our little Maxwell. He caught a cold and doesn't feel good today :( His little cheeks get so rosy!
Until the next time....
