Floor Remodel Update

What were we thinking with that ambitious floor remodel? SEVERAL months later we are still dealing with it. It took all summer for G to get the baseboards done but they look good.

He also put up split face around the fireplace. I was unsure about this tile color but I guess it's ok enough.

Here's the whole look decorated for Halloween. I did some Martha and made mice for the baseboards. I also made the wreath out of Halloween scrap fabric. Sorry, it's a iPhone photo.

G also put in fancy moldings in our dinning room we don't use.

After the baseboards went it, we had some guys out to caulk and paint them. We did a coat of pre-paint before he put them in but they needed more and I wasn't about to do it. Earlier this month we FINALLY got new carpet put in. It was all I wanted, to rid the house of the previous owners' toe nail clippings.

We are certainly glad to be almost done. We just need to touch up the paint from flying tile pieces and the guys installing the wood floor. Now we are looking forward to Christmas and decorating the front of the house again. As always, it will be over the top!
