Reno update

The renos have begun. So scrapbooking is having to take a back seat right now. Along with blogging, photo editing, reading and a little sleep.

The floor people called to say the flooring was ahead of schedule, arriving Monday - that is in two days. We have been busy! Lots to do before all this Maple can sit in our family room and acclimatize. Kind of like buying fish - you know you have to leave them in the bag of water IN the aquarium for a few hours...never mind. So we have been ripping stuff out since we both arrived home from work Friday evening.

Next Thursday the lino goes in the back hall - also 24 yr old lino so it has to be replaced - or in this case covered up. So floor boards et el have to be removed and walls painted - Sunday afternoon?

Our garage at the moment - waiting for "James" to haul it away. Thank you Cheryl!!

The carpet gone - only 6, 472 staples to pull out of this disgustingly dirty floor! The painting started.

I am starting to picture the new room! We tried 4 - get that FOUR paints on the left wall before we settled on Brandon beige - very rich. That is sasparilla chocolate on the end wall. mmmm

What a cutie!

Whew! - busy day and it aint over yet! Stayed tuned!

Oh my goodness that looks like a lot of work. But it will look great when it is done, and you can sit and enjoy it. Can't wait to see the pics of it all done.

Can't wait to see the finished room. Renos are alot of hard work but oh so rewarding when you see the end result. Love the colors you chose.
