Ok, I'll share ;-)

     Well our house project is not quite finished but we're nearing the finish line with the trim and baseboard application being our last step. I guess I'll just go ahead and show you what we've/Greg's done so far.

The reason this all began, yucky carpet!

Lets just rip out this carpet and lay some nice laminate floor.

By, by tile.

Brock was in demolition HEAVEN!! I've never met a boy who loves to destroy things as much as him.

What Greg, did you say the floor won't install correctly if we leave this lovely cherry wood paneling on the walls? Well than, rip it out too!!

By, by cherry wood!

There were surprises under every panel. Fun and a little creepy.

Pulling out nails and enjoying the new artwork on our walls. And don't forget the lovely arched cutouts.

Did I forget to mention there was cherry wood trim around all the doors? Weird to see the hall so 'naked'.

Oh, and those weird arched cutouts in the walls, yeah, those had to go too!

So when you patch holes and cut outs in your walls you have to retexture the walls. Thank goodness we know a guy who is amazing and the perfect price! This photo is after texturing and primer.

She was a great little helper and had to be in the "thick of it"!

     Remember when this whole project started from just the simple plan to replace the carpet with a hard surface floor?! Well that step finally came ONLY 2 weeks after starting the project. And it only took three evenings to complete.

I'm in love with this floor! I wish I could afford to put it through the whole main floor. Here's hoping it's as durable as the laminate floor in the kitchen.

This is going to look so great when everything is all trimmed out and finished!

Down the hallway.

     So now we're near the finish line. We've got all the trim and baseboard in the garage ready to paint and install. We've also got new white outlets and switches and I've even made a purchase or two on accessories for the room including a great rug but I'll save that for the "finished" photos. So far I'm practically giddy with excitement over my new space, it's always nice to improve your surroundings!

     This project has also taken away most of my nervous energy that I get every time I'm due to teach in Relief Society. The goal is to have the finish work done no later than Monday night but we'll see how it goes. I'm pretty much the cheerleader to Greg and his amazing skills so we'll see how motivated he is and what I can talk him into. P.S. I hit the JACKPOT with GREG!!
