an end IS in sight!!!!!

I cannot contain my excitement any longer.... the 1st floor of our home is almost done!!!! The wood floors have been re-sanded & re-stained. One final coat is going on tonight. The dining room floors had to have 7 clear coats of finish in addition to the 2 stains. The contractor said these wood floors were the worst wood floors he has ever worked with and actually brought back to life. The living room floors only needed about 5 coats. See my shiny floors!!???? The pix is a bit blurry bit it was the brightest one. The walls have gotten their 2nd coat of paint and the baseboards are being painted so they can be put on tomorrow. As we speak, the baby's room is being painted upstairs!!! I just cannot believe that there is really an end in sight to this construction!

Our master bathroom, still waiting for its new baseboards, but the decorating has been done! I put a new toilet paper holder & towel holder and some soap & toothbrush holders in there. I think we are going with blue & pale green colors. Curtains to be put up later- but just look! I wish you could truly understand the joy I feel as each room gets closer and closer to being finished. It is a day that I honestly thought would never come!

I realize I am talking about paint on the walls here, but there was a lot that had to get done before we could even paint. If it was JUST painting walls... we could have done that ourselves!!! I'm so glad I took videos of the house before we moved in so I can look back and see all the incredible changes that have taken place. Literally EVERY SINGLE room in the house except for the upstairs office & bathroom have been re-done!!! We still have more to do, but that will be a long time from now!
