Do-it-yourself-y stuff

More floor - ack! The front entryway had textured, dusty-green floor tiles. Surely, previous owners picked them out very carefully to go with the god-awful, dusty-green carpeting they'd put in the living room (when we first looked at the house, I remember thinking that carpet had to go!). While the hated green carpet is long gone, we'd never

Ohhhh preeettty!
No need for "before" pics, really...the changes you've made are just lovely!
Hmmm....studying the bit of runner peeking out from your front hall stairs, I think that perhaps I might have the same carpet on mine- Is yours Karastan? Off I go- I have a sudden compulsion to wash and wax my floors, LOL! Beautiful work, dear friend!

So, I inspire floor washing? Um ....

I'm so pleased with the way the entryway looks now - the marble look tile goes with the gray living room rug, the floor in the family room, and it looks great against the stair runner (I believe it is Karastan, though it's more than 10 years since we had it installed - hated green carpeting went up the stairs and along the upstairs hallway. Beautiful red runner was our anniversary gift to ourselves that year. Clearly you and I both have excellent taste.).

We finished the floor in that basement room today and cut the baseboard molding. *twirls* Basement post will be fun because the before/during pics show demolition in progress.

You'd think by now I would be immune to the size of the projects you and Husband undertake, and yet here I am again, mouth agape, in total amazement of your accomplishments.

Can I contract you to do some work on my house when you are finished with yours?

Wait till you see the basement - Husband got to take out his aggressions on demolition! I would go downstairs right now and take some "during" or "almost after" pics - the box room, soon to be known as the rec room, has a nice floor! and baseboard molding! and a lot of junk in it that would detract from any picture, so camera time will have to wait

Can I contract you to do some work on my house when you are finished with yours?
Bwahahahahahahahaha! No. *Especially* not if you want anything done with your floors! ;)

Thank you! I'm really liking how things are turning out - wish we'd done them years ago.
