{BEFORE}
Last week was craziness! Loads of work. The new flooring we planned to have done at least a week before our early Thanksgiving had gone MUCH slower than we anticipated. Isn't that the way big jobs go? I
should have known. Well I unplugged my computer Monday to paint my floors.
Yes to paint my floor. You see we have hard wood veneer in the entry, dining room & kitchen. I wanted to get rid of the carpet on the main level & put in laminate wood but we couldn't match the wood we have. I have always loved painted floors & drooled over pictures of them in magazines so I researched it out a little & decided to go
for it. We planned all this in August, started in
September just finished the first week in November. When life is happening all around you it takes more time then you think. Well it was worth it & now it's done. There's nothing like the deadline of Thanksgiving at your house to get a job done, even if it is down to the last minute.

I LOVE IT! It's a good thing too because my body has been in pain since I started. Sitting, kneeling and being hunched over the floor for four days- let's just say my new best friend is Ibuprofen. Thanks
Brett for being brave enough to believe I could do it & thanks Brian & jack for all your help.
To refinsh our painted floor.
I love this floor all painted up. But it is a REallY, REally difficult process. Brian & I started it this week. It's slowly on it's way. Between all the sanding, cleaning, taping, painting, waiting- then more painting and & coats of sealant.... it's going to be a couple of weeks before it is done.
