New Year, New Living Room

I wish we were motivated more often to do home renovations. But when we are we really go all the way! It all started pretty simple, we needed new carpet. Our carpet is 9 years old and with 3 dogs it was really needing to be replaced. We even went and picked out the carpet we wanted. But the more we thought about it the more we hated to put carpet back down. We REALLY wanted hard wood floors. So hard wood floors it is!
Last weekend Craig ripped up the carpet. The tricky part was getting the floor level in preparation of the new floor. There was ply wood down on half the floor that also had to be ripped up.
Just tonight Craig and Caleb finished leveling the floor and we are now waiting for the hard wood floor company to get back to us. I'm so excited!!!!!
The room has a fresh new coat of paint thanks to Jordan! She painted every speck of it on her own. I never even touched a paint brush. She does an amazing job. My favorite was her signature she left on the floor. That girl has a great imagination.

My family has jumped right in and I so appreciate it! I'll post our progress, stay tuned.

Wow - you are a lucky lady!!! (just wondering - how do you level a floor?) So will you be putting in the wood floor yourself? And what color did you paint the walls? You are so fortunate your kids will help too! Altho ours aren't home much now anyway - oh well! And glad to see the doggies are doing well!
