Downstairs

Just before Thanksgiving we completed the floors and walls in the dining and living rooms -- phew! Of course we still have trim work to do, and probably need to hang a few things up on the walls, but it's coming together nicely. Gaining use of these rooms (which were basically storage rooms from May - November) has been great. It has actually taken time to get used to not having to go to the upstairs bedroom to watch TV, but we're adjusting nicely. Here are a few before/afters (just click on the pic for a better view):

and last but not least, we finally have a washer/dryer!
