“I thought renovating my home would be a piece of cake, but it turned out to be more like a multi-layered, never-ending dessert!”

Another house another remodel project 😀 

When we bought this house we knew the first thing that had to go was the dirty cream carpet from the 1990's. We also knew it had a wood floor underneath it. We pulled up parts of the carpet and looked at the wood floor and saw that at least in the parts we had pulled up it was in pretty rough shape. After much debate about it, we decided to order carpet. Once it was ordered we were committed. 

After a two-month wait, the carpet was in. So our work began. My biggest fear was we would pull all the carpet out and find out the floor was beautiful. Thankfully that was not true. The wood floor and several spots that were water-damaged and very scratched up. In the end, we were happy we decided to go with carpet. 

So many staples to be pulled out. 

Once we got all the staples out Rick scraped the ceiling and painted it. We also (well really just Rick) painted the walls a nice warm color. The room had been painted a very light gray. It really needed some color. 

The carpet is so nice!! It makes the room look so much better. I still need to paint the front door. The cream on it looks awful. I am waiting until it warms up and then I will take the door off to paint it. 

Here is the finished look. We are so happy with it. It feels so cozy now...

Next up the basement.....
