So here we are today.
Dave and I finished up the Golden Moon yellow
paint in our living room and up stairs hall
last Monday...
Thankfully, I bought excellent paint with primer already
mixed in, so no second coat needed!
(I recommend spending the $$$ when it
comes to buying paint. You get what you
pay for.)
Take a look at our work in progress...
Out with the OLD in with the NEW.
Next Dave and I ripped up the white cheap
carpets...
and here is where we are.
A freaking mess.
Not only did we find pee pee damage to the hardwoods
from the previous owner's FIVE cats,
but white paint every where!!!
The Realtor's who bought this home
from it's original owner,
flipped it.
They ripped out the ugly 1960s
red carpet and
didn't bother covering the hardwoods,
painting the white walls we
just covered!
A MESS!
Good News.
The good news is
we are going to have professionals
strip and refinish the floors.
So, it may be a darker stained wood
but it will cover up
any major improfections.
And the floors will be brought back
and restored to there original beauty.
Whew!
The finished project will be worth all the
pain staking hours put into this room!
(ps we believe the floors are made out
of oak, given the time frame this home
was built 1950)
The Other Mess.
Check out the rest of my down stairs
through this entire restoration
process.
Looks like a bomb went off!
LOL!
Blaaaaaaaa!
If you know me...and you know my
OCD's ...
you can imagine the pain this cluttered house
is putting me though!
Seriously.
Can't wait to get my home back in order.
On another note.
Dave and I were fortunate enough
to be able to hit up the Super Flee
at the public market this past Sunday.
We found this lovely shelf,
marked 12.50 and got it down to
10.00!
Good Deal.
We think it looks lovely against
our freshly painted yellow
living room.
What do you think?
Also, check out the sweet light switch
covers I found to add to the
new look of our room!
Any way, off for some coffee!
It is now time to start the white trim!!!!
Wish me luck:)
Happy Monday.
More updates later:)
