Primed And Ready

Today was a lot of fun. It was the first day we spent in the home all day. We met with a lot of people with some good and some bad quotes and even purchased a carpet too! We're installing it on the steps leading to the second floor as well as the entire second floor. A locksmith came around and changed our front door lock. We got two quotes on refinishing our wood floors (second guy $350 cheaper). One guy was selling us on a water based stain while the other pushed oil. Interestingly, the oil base stain was less expensive. We need to do some research. Anyone have any suggestions? Today was crazy busy. While meeting with them all we applied a thin coat of primer to the living room, hallway, and guest bedroom. Poor carpet guy leaned up on the primed wall... oops. Finally, a contractor came in and looked at our kitchen. He didn't even give a quote, he's gonna email us, so that's a little scary. We got a lot done!

Anyways, WE HAVE VIDEO! Tomorrow we rip up carpeting and paint!

  1. J & F-I am so proud of you! You all got so much done!
    I think it's kind of hilarious that you have this close-up of your carpet, but I think it's a good choice of color. :)
    I didn't get to vote before the paint swatch polls closed, but I like the apricot color. :)
