We finished the floors two days before Easter.  Oh yeah – down to the wire and stressing out about having a floor to walk on for all the people coming to the house for Easter. That’s how we roll….
Just to give perspective, here are a few before pictures. The dining room looking into the entry hall and the sitting room beyond. The other side of the wall. The sitting room looking into entry hall.  The wall comes down!
Nice and open now….The stairs are rebuilt (here, here and here the dreaded floor is being installed. And FINALLY….drum roll please…..


AFTER!! The stairs – looking in the front door. And Baxter Boy makes an appearance….the dogs were never far from the construction. The sitting room looking into the entry hall and dining room. Notice the lack of wall – ha!

And Chauncey – the wonder dog.

Dining room looking into the entry hall and sitting room Dining room looking through the pocket doors into the family room. The sitting room.   I still need to finish the furniture, change the light fixture and hang pictures. The little green chair belonged to my great-great Aunt Pearl. Love it. I love how cozy this room is at night….. The entry hall. Still need a little table for under the mirror. So, there you have it. Whew! Now I have a lot of furniture to refinish.Which is good because Brian told me that if I start another project, he’s sooooo outta here.I’ll give him until the fall before I start something else – ha! This absolutely took my breath away! If you loved this too, you’ll also love these!
