Ok, so maybe it won't be "so exciting" for all of you, but it surely was for us. After living on other people's pet stains for 4.5 years, we finally tackled refinishing our hardwood floors and lacing in new wood to replace the badly stained carpet in our family room. It's such a good feeling to know that little by little we are eliminating other people's filth. I know that's blunt, but it is what it is. We take pride in keeping our home clean so it's unsettling to know that you're living with the result of other people not caring for it the same as we do. So, yes, exciting, I say! We had planned on doing this renovation earlier in the year, but held off while we decided whether to lay out the expenses for it when we're unsure of how long we'll be in this house. After talking with our realtor though, the decision was made easy. Just do it. Whether we enjoy it or it will help us sell our house in the spring, just do it. So, we did and I haven't doubted we made the right decision. It looks wonderful and feels even better knowing our house is one step above what it used to be. Sadly, most of you who read my blog don't get the opportunity to visit us, so I'll share it with you here. But, please, come visit us if you can!
