Overhauling the house

WOW what a difference it makes taking out the old carpet in the living room/diningroom area and replacing with wood laminate flooring!!

Before

The carpet was worn and stained. Of course the dogs didn't help any either. Eating bones or picnicing as I call it didn't help the life of the carpet. And the stairway and hallway were equally ugly.

After

Now the floors, stairs and hallway are beautiful!! And the dogs think it's great fun to wrestle and slid arcoss them.

And now for the appearnce of the dining room and living room.

Actually we've done alot to improve the appearnce of the house this year. We put in a new sliding glass patio door complete w/dog door. Installed track lighting in the kitchen and hallways, put in a new tile floor in the den, fixed the front walkway and now these floors. WHEW that's a lot. And Jonathan says he may yet replace the stove w/a gas stove for me. I can only imagine what next year's improvements will be.
