In the hallway going into the extra room

Hallway entry point facing the bathroom door

My hearth is finally finished!

Perfect hiding place for little red doggies

The new living room floor, complete with laundry rack and a shot of the kitchen

Oh yeah!  That's a huge improvement

My poor hubby has pneumonia...this was taken before he had to be hospitalized and operated on.

And the freak snow storm that I got caught in on my way home from the hospital.

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.

Living Room...ongoing

This is still a work in progress.  I've got a lot of major changes to make as well as finishing some things (like the ceiling).
