We are finally in our new home after two long weeks of living between houses! After the closing of our existing home, we decided to rent back from the new owners so we could get a few things done in the our new house before moving in. Although it kept us extremely busy, I am glad for the many things we were able to accomplish - including our entire bedroom (it's always nice to have at least one spot completed!). In addition to the bedroom project, we removed the old linoleum from the family room/kitchen floor and painted the sub flooring for an authentic looking country kitchen floor! Of course the cost was the driving force in that decision. The hardwood floors throughout the rest of the house were all refinished and we were also able to remove the chair rail from every room in the house. Seriously, every room including the bathrooms! Several gallons of paint later and we are exhausted. Exhausted, but happy to be in our new home.
Your house sounds beautiful! Good luck in your new home.
