Pups

Rose and Fern are quite the pair these days. Not even 1 yet!

1st Christmas

The Christmas tree...all 10' of it. And the cats only knocked it over once.

Living Room is Done!

A few weeks ago we were finally able to finish up the living room. The floor is totally refinished, the baseboards are refinished, the walls are painted (White Wool by Behr) and the book shelves and window and door frames are refinished. Much better! Time to start decorating...

Living Room Woodwork

Still hard at work on the living room. The woodwork, mantle, baseboard, etc were looking worn and dull so we brightened them up with a fresh coat of stain and varnish. They match the floors a bit better now as well. The walls are also primed and there is 1 coat of paint on most of the room.

And here's what they look like now:

  

More Living Room Floor

Slowly but surely getting the living room floors finished up. They have been sanded, stained and had 2 coats of polyurethane. One more coat and they'll be all done! Then it's on to the walls and the lighting fixtures.

Living Room Floor

We finally made it to the living room this weekend. Decided to rip the carpet out first. The floor looks pretty good and it smells worlds better in there with the carpet gone.
