New Floors!

We got new floors! We had all the carpet in the living room, hallway, and stairs ripped up and replaced with hardwood floors. They replaced the stairs entirely, built a new handrail, and put in tile on the landing. It looks very nice! The stairs and railings still need to be stained and/or painted, but otherwise it's all done. Here's a picture when they were only half-done with the floors, with the cats inspecting the work:



Here's the finished product, with some of our furniture moved in:




Unfortunately, now everything else looks old and worn out! So now we're thinking about getting a new couch, painting the walls, and all sorts of other stuff. We'll see how much of it actually gets done, though.

I hate writing, too, and don't add to my blog very often either! :)

It's good to see you on the e-world... Wanted to look you up when we were in CT for Xmas last year but we had a very sick baby. (She's 21 months old now!) We should be up in W. Suffield again for Xmas week this year, hopefully with a happier daughter. We'd love to see you!

Love,
Suzanne

Hi, Kristin! It's great to stumble on your blog in the e-world. :) I hate writing, too, so I can relate. I've been trying to keep a blog (to which I contribute very infrequently, I'm afraid), and trying to keep a journal (slightly more successfully). :)

Sorry we missed you last Xmas - we were up in CT but our then-10-month-old daughter was very sick. We're hoping to be up in W. Suffield again this December, with a healthy child! (not to mention our two dogs... crazy!)

We'd love to see you again. Congrats on your vacation house - it must be wonderful to have such a wild place to get away to. And congrats on your floors. They're beautiful!

Hope you are well. Drop me an email if you get the time - I'd love to hear from you!

Love,
Suzanne
