Bedroom floors

Our contractor friend Derrek found this wedged under the door frame.  1963 penny.

Catcher decided to help me take out the jasmine today.

All gone now!

It looks so much neater without all the vines

Bedroom is done!

I love the flooring and how much bigger the room looks now.

My pile of brush after today

pretty flooring

next zone to conquer: the hallway

it just makes me smile every time I see it

D Day progress

The mater bedroom without furniture

The Dinette area

Living room carpet

The original tiles saved beneath particle board and sheet linoleum

Wishing I could keep the original;  maybe someday I'll revisit the idea of restoring it

What's left of the carpet pad in the living room

The cleaned up master bedroom floor

This beauty was hiding in the master bedroom under the carpet

Just look at the detail!  I absolutely love it and plan to fully restore it one day in the future.

The hallway after being mopped.

Living room flooring, also original
The kitchen floor

Cleaning up the mess in the living room.

There's a ton of water damage to the tiles thanks to larger sized wet dogs, wet shoes, spilled drinks, and not caring for the carpet properly.

The fireplace as it is now that the doors have fallen off

The plan for the new hearth I'll be adding before we install the new laminate flooring.
