The Big Reveal!

I know some of you are wondering where the final pictures are of the Extreme Home Makeover - wood floors. Well, since all this started, we haven't had our desktop plugged up...so blogging has taken a back seat! I'm on Russ's laptop now, and I'm ready to post pictures! Russ, Pat, and Matt did an incredible job on the floors! I absolutely LOVE them! I have fallen asleep in the living room for the past few nights....just laying here enjoying my new floors, rug, and - YES - my new entertainment center!!!!!!! Yay!!! I found one at Miskelly's 40% off and Russ said, "Let's just go get it!" I think he was just overwhelmed with pride over our finished floors! When Russ and I first married, we spent the first year of our marriage with our television sitting on a green cooler that Russ had since high school. After a while, we just got used to it. Ha! Then, my college roommate, Kelly, gave us her bed, mattress, and nightstand from her high school bedroom. The bed still sits in our guest room and sleeps wonderfully! And the nightstand has held up our television for the past 3 years! Our DVD player and Playstation (along with the guitar from Guitar Hero and dance mat from Dance Dance Revolution) and all our million DVD's sat out in the open in our living room. It really looked pretty bad. But, after a while I didn't even notice! Ha! ANYWAY....it just didn't seem right to disgrace our new lovely wood floors with the same entertainment "area," so we bought our television a new home! It's beautiful! We also completely rearranged our living room. So, we've been a bit busy...and I'm now ready to reveal the final product. Enjoy!

The view from our dining room- notice the new rug and the new painting on the wall!

This was the biggest project with all the thresholds and corner cuts, etc. The closets even have wood floors!!!

The floors look amazing, don't you think? Thank you so much, Russ, for my favorite Christmas present EVER!!!
