Getting ready for carpet

My pretty...newly refurbished kitchen is now a refuge for the livingroom & bedroom overflow as we prepare to carpet on Tuesday and Wednesday.

***

Rick and Gavin worked dilligently today to rip the carpet up

and prepare the floor for the new carpet....

Last time the livingroom and stairs looked like this was 22yrs ago.

Looking forward to our brand new "upstairs", and finally getting to decorate our home for Christmas. Maybe we'll even get a tree :)

Are we done yet???

Feels like one step forward

then two steps back....

...but thats just what it seems like, cuz this guy is plugging away about every spare moment he gets !

Puttin' the cord-around back on... staining, painting.

This week my guy installed and plumbed this beauty

Countertop was put in on Wednesday.... we love it

As for me...

...I've been an "organinzing junky" the last few days, our outdoor garbage bin is plum full and I just keep finding more junk to throw.

Sadly, this is just from ONE cupboard... yes Brianna it's the "junk cupboard"

This clutter will soon be gone, and new carpet will be installed

I cant wait for the finished product on the entire upstairs !

Here's pretty much the finished product of the kitchen...from the unclutted view...more to come later :)

The pictures dont really give the true colors of the

paint & counter tops ...but you get the idea, right.

Moving right along...

The new patio door is in and the floor has been installed




Nice job Rick...you're amazing




I will not miss this out-dated, nicked up linoleum...

AFTER



Another view


Now comes the carpet....

and coutertops.....

The carpet guy is coming in to measure Monday

I'm heading to Home Depot in the morning to get the paint

I'll dab a bit of paint on the wall so we can decide which countertop we want

Then we'll order the countertop...pick out a sink, and then

watch it all come together :)
