Finally done…

 Well, the house is finally almost done. The only thing left is for the contractor to come and put the replacement piece of tile underneath the shower door. (Dennis just told me that he just had a call from him and he’s coming this afternoon to put that piece of tile on.) And then it really will be done!

So today I’ll be showing you the finished floors. Whoo-Hoo! The kids came yesterday after church and moved the furniture back for us. We fed them pizza again and I count that cheap labor! My sister and Dennis‘s mom came over and had pizza with us too. I spent the afternoon cleaning up the sanding dust and putting things back in the china cabinet, etc. It feels so good to have things somewhat back to normal. And I hope we’re done!

Here is the great expanse right after they finished. It is much, much darker than we had asked for and they offered to redo the whole thing, but I was just done! And honestly, once the furniture was moved back, it didn’t look too bad. They were able to repair the few places that the wood had been damaged and also got the two water stains out. This photo was before Dennis put the quarter round back on the baseboards.

I even got all of the pictures hung back up on Saturday. Dennis had the brilliant idea of taking a picture of the photo wall before I took them down. That really made it much easier to hang them back up.

Not much of the floor actually shows once the rug and furniture is back in. Can you see my orchids on the upper right? They have been blooming since I bought the plant in June.

The dining room.

Another view of the living room. It’s a fairly large room, but the furniture is big too. I think it is the most comfortable furniture we’ve ever owned.

Yet another view.

My dear friend blog friend Cindy from the “Delighted Hands” blog over on my side bar, painted these wonderful pictures with her left hand last month after she broke her right hand. I love them. I very rudely asked her what she planned to do with them and if she was not keeping them, could I buy them from her? They are perfect in the new bathroom. I’ve already had a couple of compliments on them. Cindy, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your paintings with me. I absolutely love them.

This is on the other end of the mirrored wall. Isn’t she cutest little llama you’ve ever seen? I realize it’s not typical bathroom decor but I love her. Please feel free to give a suggestion for a name for her. 💜 We have decided she looks a lot like Zoey but has Lizzies ears!

This was Piper‘s valentines box for school. I love how she used the puppies to decorate her box. Isn’t she the sweetest little girl? She loves the sweaters that I make for her and wears them all of the time

Piper took this picture of Zoey after the guys got the furniture moved back. She’s quite the talented photographer.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you. I hope you all feel love today, especially from our Heavenly Father.

Blessings and love,

Betsy
