upstairs changes...

we're home!!

We repainted and rearranged the living room to accomodate the new layout. Please disregard our white-trash-style rug hanging on the railing out the window... nice touch, eh?

Our last minute decision to refinish floors was because of the found pine floors under the 3 layers of vinyl + roofers felt and glue in our kitchen. Yay Floyd for all your hard work :)


We relocated the stairs and got a cool 'loft' area. Cousins O & G are joining RM in dancing to Floyd's music. Big fantastic hit to have a little dancing area now. Plus, we have a pretty bannister. Ask me later about RM trying to kill me by dropping things over it.

We knocked out the wall btwn foyer and kitchen - the second archway in this picture is new, to match the old one, and it makes our little old house feel much more open and spacious. And, my china cabinet now fits in the kitchen - wahoo!

If everyone's this impressed with the upstairs shots, wait 'til they see the downstairs!! 'Course I know you have a bit of furniture moving to do yet. It's a BRAND NEW HOUSE!! And Red will look forward to his treatments when you figure out what his staying still reward is - Yeh Einstein. Whatever it takes, right?
